- Anita Hill

About this Quote

In this quote, Anita Hill is highlighting the bothersome history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when it concerns discrimination. She specifically mentions 2 kinds of discrimination - sex and race. This suggests that the FBI has an enduring issue with treating individuals unfairly based on their gender and race. Hill's use of the word "history" indicates that these grievances have actually been continuous and not just separated events. By accentuating these issues, Hill is clarifying the requirement for the FBI to deal with and correct these inequitable practices. This quote acts as a tip that even organizations implied to promote justice and equality can fall short in their treatment of marginalized groups.
