This month, Governor Ron DeSantis declared that the new AP African American History course could not be taught to Florida students if it included any content related to intersectionality, queerness, or social and economic justice, singling out scholars including Kimberlé Crenshaw, Rod Ferguson, bell hooks, and others.
Join Professors Crenshaw, Ferguson, the ARTLC’s Daisha Brahbam, and other anti-racist educators in a teach-in about the role of anti-racist education and Critical Race Theory in building a just and democratic future where everyone can flourish.
This teach-in is co-sponsored by the Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective, The African American Policy Forum, Yale Faculty Senate, Yale Education Studies, and The Department of African-American Studies at Yale.

At that reception, Kimberlé Crenshaw and colleagues at the African American Policy Forum will have a signed book giveaway and share opportunities to get involved in ongoing campaigns.
