In 1992, a group of women and men in Columbia, S.C., began an annual tradition to pay tribute to Anita Hill, who testified that Clarence Thomas, then a nominee for the Supreme Court, had sexually harassed her.

Twenty-seven years later, the annual “I Believe Anita Hill” party holds special meaning coming in the wake Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers. Read more>>

I still believe Anita Hill. I believe Christine Blasey Ford. Each and every one of my female friends also believe these brave women.

I know that when I hear 2018 called the Year of the Woman, I am supposed to huddle with my girlfriends, preferably over rosé, and celebrate the historic number of female candidates in the midterm elections. And yet, I have to confess that the term bums me out.

Anita Hill Won, Even Though She Lost

In many ways, the Kavanaugh hearings did feel like a repeat of 1991. The process is his word against hers. You’d hope the two parties would come as equals, but in this case, you have a woman against members of the Judiciary Committee who’ve already expressed antagonism for her, who’ve made it known that they don’t think Dr. Blasey Ford is being truthful. And you have public statements by the president that suggest she’s lying. Read more>>

For more than eight hours, lawmakers questioned Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who says he sexually assaulted her three decades ago. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford says it happened while she and Kavanaugh were in high school. One Midlands group says it’s all too familiar. Many are comparing Thursday’s hours of testimony to the 1991 confrontation between Anita Hill and Judge Clarence Thomas. Eve Moredock Stacey is one of the founders of the local Anita Hill Party and says women still need a voice. Read more >>
