Abstract	This qualitative study examines how youth participants in an ongoing community-based literacy initiative sought to increase awareness of racial justice among residents of their subsidized housing community in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in summer 2020 and throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. We utilize theories of racial literacy and critical arts-based literacy to examine youths' engagement in 44 weekly two-hour-long Zoom sessions of the literacy initiative held between June 2020 and June 2021. Specifically, we examine how youths designed, facilitated, and participated in critical arts-based literacy projects related to children's and young adult literature they chose to read focused on racial justice. Findings contribute new insights into youths' enactments of racial literacy, possibilities for art-making to support youths' racial literacy, and the urgent need for literacy instruction responsive to youths' voices and dreams, particularly during times of crisis.
