Abstract	In recent years, issues of race, racism and social justice have garnered increased attention across the nation. Although some aspects of social justice, particularly cultural sensitivity and test bias, have received similar attention within the field of educational measurement, sharp focus of racism has alluded the field. This manuscript focuses narrowly on racism. Drawing on an expansive body of work in the field of sociology, several key theories of race and racism advanced over the past century are presented. Elements of these theories are then integrated into a model of systemic racism. This model is used to identify some of the ways in which educational measurement supports systemic racism as it operates in the United States. I then explore ways in which an anti-racist frame could be applied to combat the system of racism and reorient our work to support racial liberation. (As Provided).
