Summary

In today's episode: 🏀 We’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX: a law Congress passed in 1972 to ensure equal opportunities in school sports for kids of all genders.📗 Title IX didn’t automatically create equality for all genders, so we invited award-winning author Lucy Bledsoe to join us in the studio to talk about her book ‘No Stopping Us Now,' and how it was inspired by her own childhood.
