AnWashington DC. 10-11-1991 Anita Hill testifies to sexual harassment from former boss Clarence Thomas during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of Thomas to the Supreme Court. Anita Faye Hill , most known for her uncorroborated testimony on Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, is an American attorney and academic, currently a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management. She became a national figure in 1991 when she alleged that Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had made harassing sexual statements as her supervisor at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Due to lack of any real evidence supporting Hill's allegations, Thomas was confirmed and took a seat on the Court. Hill's testimony focused national attention on the issue of workplace sexual harassment. Credit: Mark Reinstein
