Sex, Power and Speaking Truth: Anita Hill 20 Years Later
NCRW is proud to co-sponsor "Sex, Power and Speaking Truth: Anita Hill 20 Years Later"
Saturday, October 15, 2011 at Hunter College in New York City
The conference will bring together three generations to witness, respond and analyze present day realities in law, politics, the confluence of race, class and gender, the persistent questioning of women’s credibility, issues of black masculinity and current cases of sexual harassment. The conference will also include highlights from First Run Feature’s film about Anita Hill’s testimony, ‘Sex and Justice.’
Anita Hill will be the honoree and keynote speaker, and will be joined by prominent scholars, attorneys, journalists and activists speaking on panels throughout the day. The conference will also feature “Speaking Truth to Power,” a performance curated by Eve Ensler.
