Title IX is the federal civil rights law, part of the Education Amendment of 1972
prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any school or other educational program that receives funding from the federal government.
On February 2, 2023, as part of the 50-year celebration of the passage of Title IX, Alberta Kinate was honored at a ceremony at her alma mater North Central College in Naperville, IL.
An article from the ceremony says the following: “Bert (Klehm) Kinate ’67 was very involved during her time at North Central. She was on the women’s basketball team coached by Cleo Tanner, was a cheerleader, and earned Homecoming Queen while majoring in physical education.
After graduating , Kinate taught physical education at Willowbrook High School and coached the gynmnastics team. From 1968-70 she taught at Pontiac High School where she was the cheer and gymnastics club sponsor.
During the 1970-71 school year Kinate taught at Addison Trail High School. Returning to her alma mater Dwight High School in 1972, she was the sponsor for cheerleading and Girls’ Athletic Association. During her more than 30 years at Dwight, Kinate coached tennis, track and field, golf, and Co-Rec while being a class advisor. Kinate also served 30 years as a volley ball official.
In 2002 Kinate retired from full time teaching and coaching, but stayed on as a substitute teacher for more than ten years. She coached the Gibson City High School tennis team for four more years.”
Bert, Alpha Beta members congratulate you on being honored by your North Central College for your willingness to make women’s sports an integral part of the schools where you taught after the passage of Title IX!
