  • Summary

  • Equity and inclusion are largely terms of the 2010s, but Jackie Joyner-Kersee was fueling that thinking long before the turn of the century. As a basketball and track & field superstar growing up in East St. Louis, she beat multiple odds -- including asthma. During this episode of the Lincoln Laureates you'll learn how Jackie Joyner-Kersee rose from cinder tracks to Olympic gold, and why the heptathlon is a metaphor for "winning at life." Our guest host for this Lincoln Laureates conversation is Radio Hall of Famer Jim Bohannon.
