'37 Words:' The Story of Title IX

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 23, 2022

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, a law that forbids discrimination based on sex in any school or educational program accepting federal funding, and a law that fundamentally changed women's sports forever. Directors Dawn Porter and Nicole Newnham join us to kick off our hour-long celebration of Title IX, and to discuss their new ESPN documentary, "37 Words," which tells the story of the fight to pass the law. The first two episodes premiered on June 21, and the second half will air on ESPN on June 28 at 8 pm.
