Title-IX - Girls Basketball

The ALPL Oral History Program hosted a panel discussion with women whose lives were transformed by the passage of Title IX legislation by Congress in 1972. Peggy Kusinski, an award winning sports reporter with NBC5 in Chicago (recently retired), moderated the discussion. The panel members included Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the Olympic champion heptathlete and renowned as one of the world’s greatest athletes, Dr. Ellyn Bartges, who participated in Illinois’s first girls state basketball tournament in 1977 and who went on to write her Ph.D. dissertation on the subject, and Dr. Linda Carpenter and Dr. R. Vivian Acosta, who co-authored the definitive book on Title IX, named appropriately 'Title IX.'
