About this Quote

This quote by Anita Hill speaks with the long history of gender and racial predisposition in the court system. Hill is explaining that the exemption of people based upon race is antithetical to the pursuit of justice. This bias has belonged of the court system for a very long time, and it continues to undermine the system. Hill is requiring an end to this predisposition, and for the court system to be more inclusive and equitable.
