#1 The CRT movement is a collection of activists and scholars who study and transform the relationship between race, racism, and power. They consider many of the same issues that conventional civil rights and ethnic studies discourses take up, but they place them in a broader perspective that includes economics, history, setting, group and self-interest, and emotions and the unconscious.

#2 Critical race theory is the study of race in the United States, and it was developed in the 1970s to combat the rollbacks of civil rights that were occurring at that time.

#3 Critical race theory builds on the insights of two previous movements, critical legal studies and radical feminism, to both of which it owes a large debt. It also draws from European philosophers and theorists such as Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida.

#4 The critical race theory movement was led by Derrick Bell, who wrote many of the movement’s foundational texts. The movement counts a number of fellow travelers and writers who are white, notably andré cummings, Nancy Levit, Tom Ross, Jean Stefancic, and Stephanie Wildman.
