NBC Sports & NBC News Present: In Their Court
This June marks 50 years since Title IX passed into law. While many advancements have been made, issues of inequity continue to persist in women’s sports. Ahead of the anniversary NBC News and NBC Sports have launched In Their Court, a five-part podcast hosted by U.S. Olympic medalist, Ibtihaj Muhammad, that explores the evolution of Title IX through the eyes of one, pivotal sport: women’s basketball. This series will feature the stories of the women who, over the past 50 years, fought for Title IX, advanced it, and are now using their voices to pay it forward on and off the court. We hope you enjoy this first episode, and for more visit In Their Court wherever you get your podcasts.
