What she's doing now :
It probably should come as no surprise that Anita Hill believes Clarence Thomas shouldn’t be sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hill famously alleged in 1991 that Thomas sexually harassed her while they worked together at the U.S. Department of Education — an accusation that became the centerpiece of televised Senate confirmation hearings that captivated the nation.
“I believe in my heart that he shouldn’t have been confirmed,” Hill told The New York Times in a story published Wednesday. “I believe that the information I provided was clear, it was verifiable, it was confirmed by contemporaneous witnesses that I had talked with. And I think what people don’t understand is that it does go to his ability to be a fair and impartial judge.”
Hill, now a professor at Brandeis University, is the subject of a documentary titled Anita that debuts in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York theaters on Friday. The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year.
Thomas vehemently denied Hill’s allegations, saying his hearings had become a “high-tech lynching.” He was bitter about Hill and the accusations in his 2007 memoir.
