What is Critical Race Theory? Let’s Talk About It with Rowdy Duncan

September 30, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

FREE

There has been a lot of talk about Critical Race Theory or “CRT” in the news and social media lately. Opinions are divided. Some say that CRT is an examination of the historic effects of racism on society, and the resulting impact on access to legal rights and community resources. Others say that CRT discriminates against white people and generates division. Let’s talk about it: What is CRT? Where did it come from? Does banning CRT from schools or government address a problem or create one? What is opinion and what is fact when it comes to the conversation about CRT? How can we talk about race going forward? Join us for a thoughtful conversation about CRT today.

This program is cohosted by Chandler-Gilbert Community College – Co-Curricular Programs. This is a virtual event.
