CONGRATULATING LARRY HUGGINS ON A LIFE OF SERVICE AND ACHIEVEMENT

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025)] [House] [Page H1306] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING LARRY HUGGINS ON A LIFE OF SERVICE AND ACHIEVEMENT (Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I welcome the opportunity to celebrate Larry Huggins' incredible contributions to Illinois and Chicago. Larry is a trailblazer. At a time when Black people were discouraged from construction jobs, Larry founded a construction company that is still thriving and has helped build some of Chicago's most famous landmarks. Huggins is an eminent civic leader, as well. He served as acting chairman of Metra and founded the famous Christmas in the Wards to distribute toys and other gifts to Chicago's needy. He also cofounded the Chicago Football Classic, which is a yearly football game between two HBCUs at Soldier Field. The game is accompanied by scholarships, workshops, and outreach for students. From business success to civic leadership, I am pleased to congratulate Larry Huggins on a life of exemplary service and achievement. ____________________
