The Legacy and Backlash of Critical Race Theory
This chapter explores Derrick Bell's influence on the formation of critical race theory (CRT) and the challenges faced by its proponents. It discusses the historical context of CRT's emergence, the recent backlash against it particularly following George Floyd's death, and legislation aimed at censoring its teaching. Through personal narratives and a critical examination of systemic inequalities, the chapter highlights the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the impact of disinformation in shaping public perception.
