Anita Hill
I did what my conscience told me to do, and you can't fail if you do that.
Anita Hill
The FBI has had a history of sex discrimination complaints brought against it, as well as race discrimination
Anita Hill
Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself
Anita Hill
I think, though, as African-American women, we are always trained to value our community even at the expense of ourselves, and so we attempt to protect the African-American community.
Anita Hill
I am really proud to be a part in whatever way of women becoming active in the political scene. I think it was the first time that people came to terms with the reality of what it meant to have a Senate made up of 98 men and two women.
Anita Hill
I see myself as an educator.
Anita Hill
The experience of testifying and the aftermath have changed my life
Anita Hill
Well, of course it was a very trying time for me, and fortunately I had a lot of people who were supportive. A lot of people who were writing and calling and saying they were praying for me. Some people sent me Scripture, and that helped.
Anita Hill
I am hopeful that others who have suffered sexual harassment will not become discouraged by my experience, but instead will find the strength to speak out about this serious problem.
