What is Critical Race Theory and why is it in the news?

Details: Recently the concept of Critical Race Theory has entered the mainstream lexicon as school districts and media outlets are talking about banning the teaching of “Critical Race Theory.” But what does that even mean?

We’ll be joined by Dr. Gretchel Hathaway from F&M College, Keziah Ridgeway, Educator & Activist in Philadelphia, and Venus Ricks, Equity Training and Strategy Specialist for YWCA Lancaster.
