Program Title: WINGS #45-15 Anita Hill
Description: 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

Host(s): Diane Bailey, Frieda Werden
Featured Speakers/Guests: Anita Hill is a University Professor of Social Policy, Law, and Women's Studies at Brandeis University and a faculty member of Brandeis' Heller School for Social Policy and Management.[3] She became a national figure in 1991 when she accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, her supervisor at the U.S. Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission of sexual harassment.

Credits: Anita Hill, interviewed onstage by Patricia Williams, at the Hunter College-hosted conference Sex, Power and Speaking Truth: Anita Hill 20 Years Later. Recorded and originally produced by the late Diane Bailey. Series producer and update, Frieda Werden
