Anita Hill

By testifying at the confirmation hearing of now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that he had sexually harassed her when she worked for him, Anita Hill put sexual harassment on the national agenda – and lost much of her way of life forever. She talks about that, and about her 2011 book Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home. Hill is Professor of Social Policy, Law, and Women’s Studies and the School for Social Policy at Brandeis University. Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas was her supervisor at the U.S. Department of Education and the EEOC.
