In 1991, Anita Hill testified at the Senate confirmation hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas.\xa0 It was an act of enormous bravery, and Hill immediately became a symbolic figure of extraordinary controversy.\xa0
\n\nAnita Hill\u2019s role in bringing gender-based discrimination to America\u2019s consciousness cannot be understated. \xa0In fact, prior to her testimony, sexual harassment simply wasn\u2019t part of our collective consciousness. Her work for fair treatment in the workplace, and for a society free of harassment and violence, continues to this day.
\n\nOn October 22, 2021, Anita Hill came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to speak with USF law professor Lara Bazelon, about the arc of her remarkable life, and her new book Believing:\xa0Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence.\xa0
