Competing Against Discrimination: Achieving Equality in Athletics at the University of Illinois

Competing Against Discrimination: Achieving Equality in Athletics at the University of Illinois

UIUC, Civil Rights, Athletics

This radio documentary tells the story of how the University of Illinois struggled with issues of race, gender and disability over the past half-century. University Laboratory High School students worked with public radio station WILL-AM 580 to conduct sixteen interviews with former and current U of I athletes, administrators and coaches to reveal their efforts to prevail over cultural divides that made athletics inaccessible for African-Americans, women and people with disabilities.
