Critical Race Theory explained by its founder

There’s power in speaking truth to power — you just need the courage of your convictions. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw is Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, and the cofounder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum. She joins host Krys Boyd to talk about her upbringing, which taught her to speak out when things weren’t fair, how that helped shape her work in critical race theory and intersectionality, and why she feels all people have the power to push for change. Her book is “Backtalker: An American Memoir.”
