Julie Zeilinger, 18 y.o. feminist: changing gender roles have not saved girls her age from archaic sexual attitudes/problems #anitahill20
RT @veronacodex: RT @graceishuman: Carbado: And our anti-racist interventions have to be infused with a robust feminism. #anitahill20
Carbado: Thomas is a racial victim, but Hill isn't in the eyes of many. Racism is rarely mentioned when speaking of her. #anitahill20
The feminist engagement of race, like the anti-race engagement of gender, was too thin during the Hill-Thomas hearings. #anitahill20
RT @salamishah: Devon Carbado: "What have we learned from Thomas-Hill. Our anti-racism needs to be tied to a robust feminism." #anitahill20

RT @ZerlinaMaxwell: Anita Hill deserves an apology from the U.S. Senate #anitahill20
Valian points to the failure of the Wal-Mart class action case as evidence that lawmakers still dont understand harassment. #anitahill20
They=the men. Meaning they are turned on by their power. Hmm. #anitahill20
Men who are inclined to be harassers are more likely to find women sexually appealing when they are in a position of power. #anitahill20
Prof. Vailan- Most people were undecided and gave Thomas the benefit of the doubt, felt that Hill was treated fairly by trial. #anitahill20
"Anita's legacy is not celebratory." Crenshaw mentions the MMM, the Mike Tyson trial, Don Imus, Sherrod...much work to do. #anitahill20
Crenshaw is preaching about the Black women's long history of workplace sexual harassment! #anitahill20
Crenshaw recounts "Black Women In Defense of Ourselves", an ad in the NY Times that cost a group of sisters $50k.

RT @ChrisMacDen: interesting--but not surprising-- that some men of color are threatened by #anitahill20 conference. #anitahill20
Crenshaw described Black folks singing Negro spirituals and praying that Thomas would be delivered from this attack on him. #anitahill20
The harassment Hill faced was not an unfamiliar one for our community. #anitahill20
Hill was not the "false finger pointing Miss Ann" people wanted to make her out to be-Crenshaw #anitahill20
Gloria Steinem brought her purse on stage. LMAO. #anitahill20
She must have wanted it. Why did you drink at the holiday party, why did you wear the short skirt, why didn't you quit? #anitahill20
"'Unwelcome' is the door through which defendants walk through to blame the victim"-Kathleen Peratis-Laywer/Activist #anitahill20
RT @ZerlinaMaxwell: witnesses that wr not allowed during the hearings that wr going 2 say Thomas did similar things 2 them #anitahill20
Hill didn't think the call was real at first. She was struck by how passionate the response was from her supporters. #anitahill20
Audience member just asked about Ginny Thomas' trifling ass voicemail to Hill last year. Hill "It was bizarre" #anitahill20
Hill faced her fear by "knowing everyday" that testifying about her experiences was "the right thing to do" #anitahill20
