The women had all registered in the previous days; Anthony had registered to vote November 1, 1872 at a local barbershop, along with her three sisters.

Selden, to obtain her registration, informing the inspectors that if they did not register the women, they would press charges

Initially, I was tasked with playing the role of the leader. It was not very difficult since the path from the Barbra Jordan Statue to the MLK Statue became a normal route to get to my classes. It was easy to lead my blind partner since I had already found the shortest way to get there. However, the trip was actually quite interesting. It amazed me that someone whom I had just met put his complete trust in letting me guide him across the other side of campus. Many people on campus stared at us while we walked, but it had not bothered us. During the trip, I learned a lot about my partner. He was from Austin, Texas – a Westlake High School graduate – with a football scholarship. He’s currently an undeclared freshman, but plans on transferring to the McCombs School of Business. Our main obstacle was the stairs since we took the path from Inner Campus Drive. Additionally, it had been even more difficult because UT was already a giant hill and the roads weren’t the smoothest. We developed a feasible system which basically included a lot of warnings and counting the amount of stair steps. Overall, leading seamed much easier than following since I had all my senses to direct me.
