Anita Hill addresses gender-based oppression at Omaha event
https://omaha.com/news/local/anita-hill-addresses-gender-based-oppression-at-omaha-event/article_367ebef4-4e3c-11ed-adf9-6b3d324e3ebc.html#tracking-source=home-top-storyKelsey Stewart Oct 20, 2022 Updated Oct 21, 2022
Most people didn’t believe Anita Hill in 1991 when she testified before a room of U.S. senators, detailing sexually inappropriate comments she had received in the workplace.
Pundits said nothing would be learned from the hearing. Women wouldn’t come forward, they said.
But Hill, who spoke Thursday in Omaha to an audience of nearly 1,000 people, said she’s proving those pundits wrong.
The people who did believe her spoke out. And now, more than 30 years later, women still are speaking out and coming forward.
FULL story at link above.
