Description

Vox's Fabiola Cineas talks with Anita Hill, whose testimony during the 1991 confirmation hearings for now-Justice Clarence Thomas highlighted the prominence of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances in the workplace. Hill discusses how those hearings changed her, whether or not she has respect for the Supreme Court as an institution, and how her fight to stop gender violence continues today.
Host: Fabiola Cineas (@FabiolaCineas), Reporter, Vox
Guest: Anita Hill (@AnitaHill), professor, Brandeis University
