Anita Hill spoke at YW Boston’s 150th anniversary gala Tuesday night. Held at the Marriott Copley Place, the party celebrated the organization’s progress since its founding in 1866 as the Boston Young Women’s Christian Association. Hill, who teaches at Brandeis, was played by Kerry Washington in the recent HBO film “Confirmation.”
