"Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race and Finding Home"

      Twenty years ago, in October, Anita Hill, a young female attorney, accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for sexual harassment. This occurred during the 1980s, when she worked as his aide at the Department of Education. The debate was angry and intense, and prompted a public referendum on sexual harassment and gender inequality.Thomas denied the allegations and was confirmed by a vote of 52-48 -- the closest vote in Supreme Court history.Twenty years later, Hill is a professor at Brandeis University teaching classes on race and gender equality.
       The professor's new book, "Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race and Finding Home," illustrates she is still wrestling with those questions and not just about racial and gender equality, but economic, medical and societal equality. She has currently just began a book tour this month. When ask whats her look on the case many years ago, she replies, ""I think it was just a wake-up call to the reality of some of the discrimination that women experienced," Hill said. "And that women learned they could do something about it."Hill said her feelings about testifying about the qualifications of a Supreme Court justice haven't changed in 20 years."I testified because the integrity of the court was in question," she said.

     I personally think that this is amazing that after twenty years, Anita is still fighting for equality. For her to stand up for herself and report these allegations show her eagerness for equality, and justice. Many in her position would have stayed quiet, being discourage by a man's power, because of his job and position in society. Because of her, she has encourage another not to keep silence, but go after justice. And she continues to do so by publishing new books, and teaching at her university. Reaching out to females is her goal.
