Keynote: Unraveling Myths About Critical Race Theory in Education

This meaningful discussion will explore the debate over Critical Race Theory (CRT) and unravel myths and misconceptions that challenges the opposition in conversation with invited guest and leading scholar of CRT, Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw. We will cover the conceptual overview of CRT as the fundamental acknowledgement of historical and present injustices and how integrating it into academic and political discourse is a significant step towards achieving justice and fulfilling the constitutional guarantees for Black people and other marginalized groups.
