~~==Allegations of Sexual Harassment==~~

−

In 1991, Anita Hill, an attorney who had worked with Thomas at the Department of Education accused Thomas of sexually harrasment. She stated that he would talk about such things as [[bestiality]] and porn movies. Several other women accused Thomas of sexual harrasment as well.

−

Thomas denied all allegations saying: "This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree."

~~On October, 23, 1991, Thomas took his seat as the 106th Associat Justice of the [[Supreme Court]].~~
