I was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career.

If you think about the way the hearings were structured, the hearings were really about Thomas' race and my gender.

What we really need to be understanding is that all of these things matter and they all stem from the fact that certain people live with power and authority and they want to maintain it.

My parents are older, and they lead a somewhat sheltered life. It was difficult to talk with them about things that were embarrassing to me, and that I had never spoken to them about.

The experience of testifying and the aftermath have changed my life.

During this period at the Department of Education, my working relationship with Judge Thomas was positive.

I think, though, as African-American women, we are always trained to value our community even at the expense of ourselves, and so we attempt to protect the African-American community.

Telling the world is the most difficult experience of my life, but it is very close to having to live through the experience that occasion this meeting.

Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself.
