The Trump administration is ramping up its crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion. Civil rights activist and law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term "intersectionality," and helped spearhead critical race theory. Her new memoir "Backtalker" traces her own journey growing up in Ohio during the Jim Crow era. She tells Christiane how she was inspired to speak truth to power, and the importance of continuing to do so.
