In this introductory essay, editors of the special issue on critical race media literacy frame the current global contexts of race, racism, and media in which this issue is situated. Building from the work of authors included in this special issue, this essay calls readers to engage and disrupt racism in popular, educational, and other forms of media, both inside and beyond the classroom.
