Court of Appeals Judge Clarence Thomas during the first day of his
reopened confirmation hearings. Judge Thomas, in his second
appearance of the day before the committee, vehemently denied
sexually harassing University of Oklahoma Law Professor Anita Hill
when they both worked for the Department of Education and the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission in the early 1980's. Professor
Hill’s testimony preceded Judge Thomas' second statement.
Judge Thomas characterized the hearing as a “travesty,” and "a
high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who . . . deign to think for
themselves." He also said the hearing sent a message to blacks that
if they do not “kow-tow” to an old order, they will be lynched.
Committee members questioned Judge Thomas on his knowledge of
Professor Hill’s allegations, on his relationship with Professor Hill
after she left the EEOC, and possible motives for Professor Hill’s
testimony
