Anita Hill landed in the middle of a media circus 21 years ago when she testified that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her. Recently, she found herself back in the news when Thomas' wife left her a phone message asking her to apologize.

Hill, senior advisor to the provost and professor of social policy, law, and women's studies at Brandeis University, published a book last year. She is in the Twin Cities for the 30th annual luncheon of Women Winning, a group that supports pro-choice women leadership in Minnesota. She joins The Daily Circuit Monday.

Hill says she would it it all over again. The experience influenced her views on gender and race equality, and how she talks about it today.
