Feminist Film Series: A Sporting Chance: The Lasting Legacy of Title IX
Thursday, January 31, 6pm
Woldenberg Art Center, Freeman Auditorium
This documentary reveals Title IX’s story and portrays how it has
helped transform athletic participation for women, as well as the
immense impact it has left in the 40 years since its enacting. The film
consists of interviews with Title IX advocates, as well as student
athletes who have benefited from the passage of the landmark
legislation. The documentary also includes personal stories from people
who went beyond gender barriers in their athletic careers. Billie Jean
King, Founder of the Women’s Sports Foundation, is one of several
athletes who reveal their stories.
We will be joined by special guest Brenda LeBlanc UC’82, four-year
letter winner in volleyball, and long-time St. Joseph’s Academy (Baton
Rouge) volleyball coach – winner of 13 state championships and the 2005
National High School Federation national volleyball coach of the year.
Ms. LeBlanc will talk briefly about her own experiences as a
student-athlete and the impact Title IX has had on her career.
