On August 5, 2022, Assistant Professor of Sociology and African American Studies Victor Ray was interviewed on Meet the Press (Q&A: What is 'critical race theory,' really? A new book tries to explain).

I think a lot of folks when they talk about racial inequality, they want a kind of final policy that's going to end it. Critical race theory is saying, look, folks will continue to fight, and realistically, you're going to have to continue to fight too if you're on the side of racial justice. That might not be hopeful, but I think it's purposeful.

On August 11, 2022, Victor Ray was featured on a long section of the Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC.
