Anita Hill Giving Lecture at University of South Carolina



COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A woman who famously accused then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment more than two decades ago is in South Carolina to speak about one of the court’s recent decisions.

The University of South Carolina says Anita Hill is the featured speaker on Thursday at the Adrenée Glover Freeman Lecture. The school says Hill is discussing how the high court’s recent decision confirming the 1968 Fair Housing Act could change the way housing, employment and education bias cases are argued.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hill’s testimony during Thomas’ confirmation hearings. Hill publicly accused Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him.

Thomas denied Hill’s allegations.

Hill is currently a professor of law, public policy and women’s studies at Brandeis University.
