MAINSTREAM MEDIA Maybe you’re an academic whose field of expertise is “unrelated” to CRT, but you want to be able to speak intelligently about what CRT is to those who might ask because you’re an academic. Below you’ll find accessible articles published in mainstream media that do a pretty good job of explaining what CRT is and its history, as well as the history of the attacks on CRT. These articles also contain links to several law review articles that helped establish the field of CRT if you are interested in exploring primary sources.
