'It's our responsibility' -- San Antonio voters on the East Side caravan to the ballot box

Sam Mills, 61, voted for the first time 12 years ago when he cast his vote for former president Barack Obama.

He’s voted in every election since.

“It’s been about wanting change for me. That’s how it started and that’s how it is,” Mills said.

A late convert to the habit of voting, Mills was eager to participate in Sunday’s “Souls to the Polls” drive because he believes a sense of community can propel residents to cast their ballots.

The retired city employee led a caravan of cars from Sam Houston High School on the East Side to the voting booths at the Claude Black Center, 2805 East Commerce, honking the horn on his pickup as three flags — one American, one Texan and one honoring Juneteenth — waved in the wind in the back.
