Definición
- A series of Senate hearings held in October 1991 on the subject of the nomination of black jurist Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court justice, which included allegations of sexual harassment by University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill. When Thurgood Marshall, America's first African American Supreme Court justice, retired in 1991, President George H. W. Bush used the opportunity to replace Marshall, a defender of civil rights and women's rights, with Clarence Thomas, a conservative black jurist.
