“Since I am in Iowa," Anita Hill said, alluding to the caucuses, "... we need leaders ... who will get us where we need to be on gender-based violence.”
IOWA CITY, Ia.— A few months after the 1991 Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill was asked to speak about the topic of sexual harassment on a college campus"not unlike" the University of Iowa.
She came to Iowa, for what she said was the first time in her life, at the request of Iowa's University Lecture Committee. The committee presented Hill with the UI's Courage of Conviction award, a recognition reserved for those who have demonstrated a"protection of human dignity and the advancement of human rights."
In response to an audience question, she reiterated she was underwhelmed by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's apology for his role as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee during Hill's testimony.
