WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — NBA star Chris Paul led nearly 2,500 people on a march to an early-voting site at a historically Black college in North Carolina where he also takes classes.
Paul was part of the "March to the Polls Part 2" event held Tuesday at Winston-Salem State University, Winston-Salem Journal reported.
The basketball star told reporters during the event that it was necessary to encourage students to vote "given the magnitude of the election and everything that is going on right now." Paul had previously said that he would be encouraging HBCU students to head to the polls.
