#064: In this episode of Beyond the Culture, Dr. Walker speaks with the 1982 NCAA National Finalist Cheyney State College Lady Wolves .
On March 28th 1982 Cheyney State College (now Cheyney University) Lady Wolves basketball team coached by HOF coach C. Vivian Stringer, laced up their shoes to play the Lady Techsters of Louisiana Tech University.
It was an historic night. It was the first ever NCAA Division 1 Women’s Basketball Championship Game. It was the first and only time that a HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and University) competed in an NCAA Division One final four and championship game.
It was the first time an all-Black women’s team with all-Black coaching staff played for a Division 1 national title.
It's been 40 years since that momentous occasion. And 40 years later, herstory can never be erased.
On this episode of Beyond the Culture, I have the esteemed honor. To have a conversation with several members of that 1982 team. The members of the team who are here tonight are:
Deb Walker, Yolanda Laney, Ann Strong, Valerie Walker, Sharon Taylor, Faith Wilds, and Karen Draughn.
I want you to stay with me for this inspiring and legendary conversation.
Don’t go anywhere as I go Beyond the culture with the 1982 Cheney State College Lady Wolves.
