Written statement from Chicago House AC reading: CHICAGO HOUSE AC CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY MONTH This month, we reflect on the full journey of Black History: the triumphs and the struggles that have shaped this community to be one of incredible strength, resilience, and unity. We recognize there is no American History without African American History. From overcoming adversity to breaking barriers, Black athletes and leaders have inspired us to push forward with determination and hope. While we celebrate the progress that's been made, we acknowledge that the struggle continues. Let's honor both the challenges and the victories that have paved the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. - Shannon Seymour, CHAC Men's Head Coach & Dan Hayes, CHAC Defender
