I have such admiration for Anita Hill.

This came by my newsfeed this morning. I don't watch Jon Stewart because he's on after my bedtime so I just saw this for the first time this morning. Sharing because she continues to need to be heard.

Instead, they took the crooks' word on things.

Looking back, Dr. Hill would make a better choice to succeed Justice Marshall than the person she testified against.
