Across the nation, the influence of Critical Race Theory on how history is studied and taught in our educational systems has become hot button political issue. But what exactly is CRT and why has there been so much backlash against it? The Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center is hosting a forum to discuss these two questions and other issues concerning CRT featuring four Northern Michigan University faculty members. The CRT Forum will take place on Thursday, February 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Jamrich Hall 1100. Due to Covid-19 regulations, the audience will be limited to 100 members and all attendees will be required to wear KN-95, N-95 or KF-95 masks during the event. The event will also be streaming live on Zoom.
