Facing Our History, Freeing Our Future
Controversy surrounding critical race theory is stirring in schools from kindergarten through higher ed in the United States, as legislators attempt to ban a wide array of teaching practices concerning race. While the issue is particularly salient in the US at this moment of deep division, the need for truth-telling about systemic racial oppression is global. Acknowledgement of past wrongs, brings hope for a better future.
