The Complete Transcripts of the Clarence Thomas - Anita Hill Hearings: October 11, 12, 13, 1991

Anita Miller,United States Congress,Senate Committee on the Judiciary

This volume contains not only the complete verbatim transcript of the testimony given before the Senate Judiciary Committee on October 11, 12 and 13, 1991, but, as Nina Totenberg points out in her preface, the important exhibits that were submitted - affidavits aimed at discrediting Hill, and the sworn testimony of the so-called other woman, Angela Wright, who had worked for Thomas and, like Hill, claimed he made lewd and inappropriate remarks to her. Wright herself was never called to testify before the cameras. But she did give telephone testimony to the committee staff - as did her friend Rose Jourdain - and that testimony is included here. Although more that two years have passed since these hearings were held, public interest remains high. With their implications for attitudes toward race, gender and sexual harassment, the issues and emotions created by the hearings are still of vital importance to literate, thinking Americans. History, someone said, is what happens before you know it. Thus, many events come clear only in retrospect. This book will at last allow the general interest reader the opportunity to develop a calm and reasoned insight into those explosive and historic three days.
