Lacrosse Debuts in Inner-City Washington School

The new translation of the Native American game lacrosse is a popular sport at many predominately white and affluent, suburban private schools in the United States. But it too has taken root at a predominantly African American, public high school in Washington, plagued by poverty, violence and low academic achievement. Girls are now playing lacrosse at Ballou High School, where educators and students there hope to profit from it.
