Anita Hill
From the heroic lawyer who spoke out against Clarence Thomas in the historic confirmation hearings twenty years ago,Â ,At the historic Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, Anita Hill spoke out courageously about workplace sexual harassment. Now she turns to the topic of home. As our country reels from the subprime mortgage meltdown and the resulting devastation of so many families and communities, Hill takes us inside this â€œcrisis of homeâ€ and exposes its deep roots in race and gender inequities, which continue to imperil every Americanâ€™s ability to achieve the American Dream.Â  In this period of recovery and its aftermath, what is at stake is the inclusive democracy the Constitution promises.Â The achievement of that ideal, Hill argues, depends on each Americanâ€™s ability to secure a place that provides access to every opportunity our country offers. Building on the great strides of the womenâ€™s and civil rights movements, Hill presents concrete proposals that encourage us to broaden our thinking about home and to reimagine equality for Americaâ€™s future.
