Anita Hill will discuss equality in the workplace Sept. 15 on USC's campus. She will deliver a talk at 4 p.m. in the School of Law auditorium for this year's Adrenée Glover Freeman Lecture in African American Women’s Studies.
The event falls 25 years after Hill's infamous testimony during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Hill brought the issue of sexual harassment to the forefront of American politics when she accused Thomas of mistreatment in the workplace during his Senate hearings.
The speech foreshadows the October release of the Brandeis University professor's new book, entitled “Reimaging Equality: Stories of Gender, Race and Finding Home."
While in Columbia, Hill will also attend an "I Believe Anita Hill" event at 701 Whaley St.
