abstract="Black Lives Matter (BLM) has profoundly shifted public and political discourse about  race in the United States and thus the broader sociopolitical landscape in which  children learn about race and their own racial identities. A sample of Black, White,  and Multiracial children (N = 100; Mage = 10.18 years old) were interviewed about  their racial identities in 2014 and again in 2016. During these 2 years, BLM surged  with the National March on Washington, widespread news coverage of multiple cases of  police brutality, and a highly racialized presidential election. The current  analysis examines longitudinal change in children's racial identity narratives  across these two time points with attention to the role of BLM. Qualitative  interview analyses show that (a) the importance of racial identity increased among  Black and Multiracial (but not White) children, and (b) the content of children's  race narratives shifted to include BLM-related themes and more discussions of race  as interpersonal and structural (not just individual). We discuss age-related  changes and how to conceptualize maturation during significant sociopolitical  moments, like the current one, in relation to racial identity development.
