Over the past few months, about a dozen states with Republican majority legislatures have passed laws banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory in public schools. Anarres Project co-director Dr. Joseph Orosco talked with Dr. Mark Naison to help us unpack what is going on with some of these bans.
Mark Naison is Professor of History and African American Studies at Fordham University in New York. His many books and articles cover African American polics, labor history, popular culture, and educational policy. He is also the founder of the Bronx African American History Project and he is frequent commentator on CNN, Fox, O’Reilly Factor, and Chappelle's Show. He has written a statement decrying these bans and talks about how we should approach the teaching of race in the US—advising us to focus both on the horrors of white supremacy but also the bravery and joy of communities of color resisting and struggling for human dignity.
