Abstract	The purpose of this article is to present a case for building racial literacy in students. The author offers support for her argument by foregrounding a three-month study she conducted in her community college first-year composition (FYC) classroom. She hopes that this article will contribute to the growing body of research that emphasizes the need to develop racial literacy in English classrooms and to talk about race in literacy classrooms. The following research questions guided this study: "What does racial literacy skill-building look like in FYC?" "How do FYC students use their writing toward building their racial literacy skills?"
