This legislation was posthumously renamed after the first woman of color to serve in Congress, (10[1])Patsy Mink, (10[3]-5[1])who had worked to pass it (10[1])with Birch (10[1])Bayh (“bye”) in 1972. (10[1]-5[1])A documentary series about this legislation (-5[1])was modeled (-5[1])on (10[1]-5[1])ESPN’s (10[1])30 for 30 series (10[1])and examined its impact (10[1])on Sheryl Swoopes and other (10[1])college athletes. (10[2])For 10 points, name this law (10[1])that, in federally-funded programs, (10[1])prohibits (10[1])sex-based discrimination. (10[1])■END■ (10[5])
