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.

It also helps to address the need to overhaul social studies curricula, especially those that fail to address non-white Western historical perspective.
