Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home

From the heroic lawyer who spoke out against Clarence Thomas in the historic confirmation hearings twenty years ago
 
“This ambitious book provides just as dignified and well intentioned a performance as the one she gave at those hearings.”
—Megan Buskey, The New York Times Book Review
 
Through the stories of remarkable African American women, including her own great-great-grandmother, playwright Lorraine Hansberry, and Baltimore beauty-shop owner and housing-crisis survivor Anjanette Booker, Anita Hill demonstrates that the inclusive democracy our Constitution promises must be conceived with home in mind. From slavery to the Great Migration to the subprime mortgage meltdown, Reimagining Equality takes us on a journey that sparks a new conversation about what it means to be at home in America and presents concrete proposals that encourage us to reimagine equality.
