Event Occurred: September 16, 2021, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM PDT Facilitator: Eddie Moore, Jr., Ph.D.
This workshop examines the recent controversy around critical race theory (CRT) that has surged as a dubious strategy by opponents to sow division, stir strife, and promote reverse racism, rather than its original intent of drawing attention to the role of race in the legal system — as well as other societal systems — in perpetuating inequities and exclusion.
