In celebration of Black History Month and Women's History Month, we caught up with four debaters in the new issue of Rostrum magazine who represented major milestones in our history. Kristin Langwell and Rachel D'Onofrio, the first all-female Policy Debate national champions, reflect on their time in the activity and the role models who helped them along the way. Andre Hylton, a member of one of the first successful Black Policy Debate teams, discusses challenges he and his debate partner Nathan Holmes overcame and how the activity has shaped his successes. Check out these stories and more in the new issue.
