Join us on Wednesday, October 13 at 7PM to discuss “Anita: Speaking Truth to Power.” This October marks thirty years since the Anita Hill hearings before Congress during the Supreme Court nomination of Clarence Thomas. “Anita Hill’s graphic testimony was a turning point for gender equality in the U.S. and ignited a political firestorm about sexual harassment and power in the workplace that resonates still today. Against a backdrop of sex, politics, and race, “Anita: Speaking Truth to Power” reveals the story of a woman who has empowered millions to stand up for equality and justice. Directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Freida Mock, the film celebrates Anita Hill’s legacy and provides a rare glimpse into her private life and career.”
