The February trial dropped five of the original charges before the verdict.

History

Historical Context

Anita Hill’s October 1991 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, prompting a reopened hearing and a 52-48 Senate confirmation vote on October 15. The public outcry is credited with launching modern awareness of workplace harassment and helped fuel the 1992 “Year of the Woman,” when a surge of women entered Congress.
