EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in American history, featuring a pinback button with the words "I Believe Anita Hill". Created by an unknown artist in 1991, this round pink button with black lettering represents the support and belief in African-American lawyer and academic Anita Hill. Anita Hill rose to national prominence when she accused Clarence Thomas, her supervisor at the United States Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, of sexual harassment. This accusation sparked a nationwide conversation about gender equality, workplace harassment, and women's rights. The button serves as both a symbol of solidarity and a call for justice. It embodies the struggles faced by women who have been victims of sexual harassment while highlighting their courage to speak out against powerful figures. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture within its collection on buttons information artifacts, this piece is not only an artistic representation but also an important historical document. It stands as a reminder that progress towards gender equality has been hard-fought throughout America's history. As we reflect upon this image print today, it prompts us to continue advocating for human rights and fighting against sexism in all its forms. The legacy of Anita Hill lives on through her bravery and determination to bring attention to issues that affect countless individuals across our country.
