SF Bay Area DUers: Anita Hill will be speaking in Berkeley on 2/25

https://commerce.cpsma.berkeley.edu/Tickets/tickets/production.aspx?productionNumber=10130

In 1991, Anita Hill testified before a U.S. Senate committee that then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her while working for him — igniting a national conversation on a difficult topic typically met with avoidance and silence. Hill became an icon, empowering people around the world to stand up for equality and justice. Nearly 25 years later, the conversation has expanded to include campus sexual assault and violence. Join Hill, University of California President Janet Napolitano (and one of Hill’s former attorneys), and UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas B. Dirks to discuss how lessons learned from the past can be applied today.
