Absolutely. The whole concept of race as we know it was created by certain people to justify the enslavement of others. Civilizations that were seen as equals during the Renaissance and Middle Ages were suddenly seen as less than human and this construct was formed to justify this. CRT helps us evaluate the role of race in our history and examine it with a critical eye, moving us away from the flawed Eurocentric view of the world that has been taught in our country and in many others.
