ABSTRACT
This chapter explains some of the stories and workshop strategies used in teaching and learning about skin color, and the importance of recognizing that even with the youngest of children, the need for work towards racial justice in teacher's classrooms, their institutions, and their communities continues. Categories of responses are used as a mini-research project to continue to gather stories about the way children in the society construct their first understandings of race and skin color and the role that adults have in that process. Skin color prejudice, or negative attitudes and beliefs about race, is a learned behavior. Along with the importance of knowing and teaching about the long history of resistance to racism, there is also a current and institutional element to this effort that they can all learn from and participate in.
