Anita Hill started a national conversation about sexual harassment 25 years ago, but many U.S. employees still have no legal protections.
It’s been 25 years since Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas brought the issue into the national spotlight. Next week, HBO will release a drama starring Kerry Washington that reprises the controversy of the Justice’s Supreme Court nomination hearings in 1991. Since workplace sexual harassment has been part of the national conversation for over two decades, you might assume that the issue is basically settled, or at least that there are protections in place for all employees.
