Reimagining 1991 with Anita Hill
Sharing an episode of Pushkin's newest podcast: Getting Even with Anita Hill. On the show, author, lawyer, and feminist icon Anita Hill tackles tough questions about equality and what it takes to get there. She talks with guests on the frontlines of improving our imperfect world and finding solutions. In dynamic, thought-provoking interviews, Hill's guests reveal stories of breaking the rules, going off script, and forging their own path to equality.
In this episode, Anita talks to Sukari Hardnett. When Hill testified about being sexually harassed by Clarence Thomas before the 1991 Senate Judiciary committee, Hardnett wanted to offer her own testimony against Thomas. But she was blocked from doing so. For the very first time, they speak about Hardnett’s experience being excluded from the historic hearing and how it impacted both her life, and our country.
