WATER POLO’S MAX IRVING AND ASHLEIGH JOHNSON ON WHAT BLACK HISTORY MONTH MEANS TO THEM

“You see me, you see Max and you don’t see the people behind us who encourage us, who are aware of stereotypes but didn’t define us by them. They didn’t limit our potential because of what they heard about black people,” Johnson said. “They knew these stereotypes weren’t true and didn’t pass that on to us to limit us.”
