WISH — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Constitution Society teamed up to host a forum on critical race theory Wednesday at IUPUI’s McKinney School of Law. In 1989, IU Maurer School of Law Professor Kevin Brown participated in the first the first CRT seminar. He says CRT focuses on how how the economic disparities between Blacks and whites hasn’t changed much since civil rights laws took effect in the mid-1960s. “Family income, unemployment, poverty rates, college graduation rates, life expectancy, home ownership [are all impacted],” Brown said. Brown says Supreme Court decisions made in the 1970s and 1980s froze some of those disparities into place.
