File under: critical race theory, CRT, academics, personal experiences, religion, spirituality, education, radicalization, indoctrination
There is a baller reading list that goes along with this podcast that I’ll post separately. We’re all pretty slammed this week, but we did manage to do a deep dive into critical race theory: what is CRT, where did the opposition come from, how this issue has already affected us and will continue to affect us, and the interconnectedness of CRT with every other issue we care about.
In this episode, I’m joined by King Williams, Sylvia Johnson, and Nolan Huber-Rhoades. This is definitely not one to skip over.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The recorded interview and this report were created on both the unceded and ancestral native lands of the Muscogee Creek Nation (currently known as Atlanta, Ga.) and the unceded, ancestral lands of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish people, past and present. We honor the lands and the people of both the Muscogee Tribe, which was forced from its land under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and the Duwamish Tribe, who became signatories of the Treaty of Point Elliot in 1855 and lost one of its largest villages to a fire set by colonial settlers in 1895.
This discussion was also recorded (where Sylvia currently visiting) on the unceded ancestral lands of the Pima and Maricopa tribes, now known as Phoenix, Arizona, and its surrounding metropolitan areas, including Chandler. We also acknowledge with deep respect and honor the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community which is comprised of the Native American tribes Onak Akimel O’odham (Pima) and the Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa). The center of the tribes’ aboriginal territory is located in what is now called the Phoenix Valley, but their villages and farms previously occupied vast stretches of land along the Gila and Salt Rivers.
