What Does It Mean to be an An Anti-Racist? - John Stevens

This talk examines the way in which CRT seeks to address racism in contemporary society. It considers what CRT theorists regard as necessary to be an ‘anti-racist’ and also the political objectives of the BLM movement. We also introduce some of the secular critiques of CRT. This is part 3 of a 5-part series on Evangelical Reponses to Critical Race Theory.
