History reveals how child psychiatry has neglected and even perpetuated the intergenerational trauma suffered by minoritized children and families. By refusing to confront racial injustice, it has centered on white children's protection and deleted their role in white supremacist violence. An antiracist future for the profession demands a profound historical reckoning and comprehensive reimagining, a process that this paper begins to unfold.
