We are pleased to report that the Anita Hill program was accomplished without a hitch on our end. We really appreciated Taylor Brook's assistance in the initial stages of our search for a speaker and the tenacity Taylor employed in identifying speakers that could accommodate the date of our event.
However, we were dismayed by the inflexibility exhibited by the logistics coordinators who subsequently handled the process.
We initially hoped to bring Ms. Hill to our campus at least an hour prior to the program to spend some quality time engaging with students however, that time was eliminated from the schedule as we were told that Anita Hill had limited time available. Additionally, we requested the ability to livestream the event to our regional campuses, law school and medical and dental schools as for the first time the university held only one MLK program. We have been working very hard to build a true sense of community with the students, faculty, and staff at those locations. It was indicated that we should have addressed that in the contract and as a result, we offered to do an amendment. Unfortunately, after a series of discussions, which we were told were escalated, it was communicated to us that Anita Hill would not allow live streaming or recording. However, in the midst of conversation on the day of the event, Ms. Hill stated that she was never asked about her willingness to engage with students nor about streaming the event. She noted she always agrees to streaming and recording for internal use given that the talk would have significant archival importance and could have been an enriching educational tool.
We would also like to note that there were multiple errors in the Anita Hill bio supplied by All American Entertainment including the misspelling the names of collaborators with Ms. Hill and incorrect dates. Ms. Hill also indicated to us that she has made All American Entertainment aware of those errors in the past.
Our initial impression of All American Entertainment was extremely positive because of our interactions with Taylor Brooks. Taylor's drive and attention to detail enhanced our optimism with the process. We hope that with any future collaborations with All American Entertainment, our experience with Taylor will be mirrored by the rest of the team throughout the process.

We host many guests at our Agency as we sponsor our Speaker Series annually. Ms. Hill was so gracious to accept our invitation and deliver such an inspiring and thoughtful speech. [We would like to] thank her profusely for capping our Harassment Awareness Campaign with her story and her insights on what has changed over the last 20+ years. She shared that she customizes her speeches to her audience. That was so clear when she shared her experiences with the public misunderstanding and with heavy Congressional oversight, both key dimensions of our current situation.
