Interview Project
Gender
Talk to your mother and grandmothers or other women who went to
high school between the late
1960’s through the late 1970’s. Ask about their involvement with
sports. What opportunities did they
have to be involved in youth sports, high school sports, collegiate
sports or professional sports? What
factors in their lives encouraged, limited, or prevented their
participation.
Race
Talk to your parents, grandparents or other adults about their
sports involvement prior to, during or
immediately after desegregation in the 1960’s. If possible
interview an African-American about their
experiences.
Choose EITHER gender or race for your project. Use the provided
questionnaire to provide information
for the project. Submit the completed questionnaire and a 1 page
reflection paper describing your
reaction to the interview. Discuss the difference in culture and
opportunities then and now.
