My Take
Anita Hill is, to me, a study in quiet courage. When she testified in 1991 about a Supreme Court nominee, she stepped into a national firestorm and refused to look away. The title of her memoir, Speaking Truth to Power, isn't a slogan; it's a description of how she has lived.

Her induction into the Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame feels almost understated given her impact. I deeply respect people whose one act of honesty reshapes the conversation for generations.
