Our friends Leah and Rachel from Hashtag History join us on this weeks episode to talk about their favorite topic: Anita Hill. While not a politician by trade, Hill became political and the turning point in a women's movement. Sexually harassed by her former boss, she was quiet until he was nominated for the Supreme Court. She went public and her testimony was heard around the world. In this episode we discuss whether we should believe Anita Hill and how her experience revealed gross social inequity in our country when it comes to whom we believe, whether the experiences of women and particularly women of color matter. A man was allowed to sit on the court having committed what today would be a fireable offense against women. His name is Judge Clarence Thomas and he is still on the bench.
