Tennis Hall of Famer Billie Jean King talks with Sal Marchiano

This year marks the 36th anniversary of the passing of the Title IX amendment -the Education Amendment to the Civil Rights Act. The amendment states that no discrimination exist for those seeking opportunities in education. The most “public face” of Title IX is in athletics. Basically, girls and young women in high school and college must have access to sports programs as their male counterparts.

One of the most vocal leaders in the pursuit of equality is tennis Hall of Famer Billie Jean King. She spoke with our Sal Marchiano about Title IX’s importance and continuing impact.
