issue, share a photo of a moment in your life that embodies the
question: What does Title IX mean to you? (Graphic: Bryce Wood)
On its social channels and at SI.com, SI asks this question:
What does Title IX mean to you? Readers can answer by uploading
photos until Friday, April 15, that represent the impact of the
mandated equal opportunity for women to play sports. Sports
Illustrated is looking for moments that happened #BecauseOfTitleIX
– its influence on your life, professionally, athletically or
personally.
Submissions may represent how the pursuit of equality still
manifests itself today or an image capturing the connection across
generations of female athletes. It could be a moment of playing a
sport or supporting as a fan or recognizing a forgotten women’s
sports pioneer.
“The passing of Title IX has created opportunities for over a
half-century that have helped generations of women grow as leaders
on and off the field,” said Jamie Lisanti, Assistant Managing
Editor, Projects at Sports Illustrated. “Sports Illustrated is
committed to telling those stories and more as we examine how far
the spirit of Title IX has come and where it goes from here.”
Photos can be shared on social media with the tag
#BecauseOfTitleIX or uploaded to SI through this link by April 15.
The magazine, on sale May 19, will spotlight the history of Title
IX and a new generation of advocates who are amplifying its spirit
with an eye toward the next 50 years.
