Abstract
In this volume’s companion (Hayes & Hartlep, 2013) I wrote about personal experiences shaping my outlook as an educator facing matters of race in the classroom. In this piece I look further back, examining how the categories imposed on me as educator took shape and rooted decades before I set foot in front of the classroom, but which persist still.
