Juneteenth at the University of Notre Dame was a celebration of freedom, but also a somber day of reflection and education. ——-Every varsity coaching staff of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish was represented with 13 head coaches in attendance — but this was a day where the students provided the leadership.
Father Jenkins gave a prayer and Head Coach Brian Kelly gave a heartfelt speech, but it was prayer from Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa and the speech from Max Siegal and the impassioned leadership from Daelin Hayes that stood out for the day.
