Hashtag History Podcast | Rachel + Leah on The Anita Hill Story
Who better to celebrate Women’s History Month than with Rachel + Leah, the wonderful hosts of Hashtag History podcast?! On today’s episode, the historians in residence unpack the whole Anita Hill case from her early career to how she found herself at the center of the Supreme Court hearings in 1991. Spoiler alert: Anita Hill DID NOT come forward. ( she was subpoenaed) This story has far reaching impact from sexual harassment to gender, race, politics and power and Rachel and Leah are breaking it all down. I highly recommend the episode they did on their show (linked below), as well as their whole podcast!
Donna Green | Survivor + Advocate
Donna Green is a relentless advocate for the families who have a missing loved one - and a reminder to never lose hope. Her infant son, Raymond, was kidnapped from her home in 1978, and she has never stopped looking for him. Her son’s case received sparse attention and if she had never pursued it further, would have been completely ignored. Donna now has an international radio show, a non-profit, and works with other families who are experiencing the same horror she did. Meanwhile, she never loses hope that her son is alive and that she will see him again. This interview is not to be missed. Please see below for all the places you can find and support Donna
