In eighth grade, growing up in the western suburbs of Chicago, Candace Parker wrote a paper on Title IX.
Five years later, after graduating from Naperville Central, Parker played for a Title IX pioneer in Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt. Fourteen years after graduating from Tennessee and being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft, Turner Sports, in conjunction with Parker, Scout Productions and Baby Hair Productions, are releasing a documentary, ‘‘Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America,’’ on the societal and cultural impact of this legislation.
