Abstract
Although racial biases have been extensively studied, little is known about how they can be reduced. We developed and tested coordinated movement among 5-year-old children, involving exercising with other-race individuals shown on video. We found a long-term reduction in both explicit and implicit anti-Black biases lasted for 17-weeks.
