WEBVTT - Introducing: Getting Even with Anita Hill

0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:23.236
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. Hi, I'm Anita Hill. You probably know me or

0:00:23.436 --> 0:00:27.036
<v Speaker 1>think you do. Years ago, I was a young lawyer

0:00:27.356 --> 0:00:30.756
<v Speaker 1>working in DC. I was hoping to make a difference

0:00:31.116 --> 0:00:35.756
<v Speaker 1>to make my family back in Oklahoma proud. But everything

0:00:35.836 --> 0:00:39.276
<v Speaker 1>changed in nineteen ninety one when I testified at a

0:00:39.356 --> 0:00:44.556
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court confirmation hearing. I became a public figure overnight,

0:00:45.476 --> 0:00:50.116
<v Speaker 1>and I was vilified. After the hearing, I was at

0:00:50.116 --> 0:00:55.196
<v Speaker 1>a crossroads. Would I remain in the public eye or retreat.

0:00:55.916 --> 0:01:00.876
<v Speaker 1>Would I be an educator or a crusader. In the end,

0:01:01.836 --> 0:01:06.476
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to choose. These days, I teach social

0:01:06.556 --> 0:01:10.636
<v Speaker 1>policy in law, I authored books and articles, and educate

0:01:10.716 --> 0:01:14.076
<v Speaker 1>on issues of race and gender. But there are still

0:01:14.236 --> 0:01:17.956
<v Speaker 1>so many questions that keep me up at night, like

0:01:18.596 --> 0:01:21.836
<v Speaker 1>how do we solve systemic cultural problems and hold each

0:01:21.876 --> 0:01:27.436
<v Speaker 1>other accountable for creating positive change. In my new podcast,

0:01:28.276 --> 0:01:33.316
<v Speaker 1>Getting Even, I'm going to answer these questions by seeking

0:01:33.356 --> 0:01:36.876
<v Speaker 1>and sharing stories of who we are and who we

0:01:37.076 --> 0:01:42.636
<v Speaker 1>can be lessons from the law and from the human experience.

0:01:43.676 --> 0:01:48.556
<v Speaker 1>I've learned firsthand about our country shortcomings, and despite it all,

0:01:48.756 --> 0:01:53.116
<v Speaker 1>I still believe that we can solve society's biggest problems.
