We have heard an awful lot about critical race theory in the news lately, it has become the new flashpoint for debate, but... what do people mean when they talk about critical race theory?

We wanted to learn about critical race theory, why it’s important, and why those words might not mean what you're reading, so we reached out to Dr. Jennifer Rich, Associate Professor of Sociology at Rowan University to break down what critical race theory actually is and how it's being used in politics today.
