Description
A new HBO movie depicts the drama surrounding the 1991 nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, when former colleague Anita Hill came forward with allegations of sexual harassment against him. NPR's legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg broke that story, and relives the drama and subsequent cultural change that occurred in the way we talk about and address sexual harassment.
