| Abstract: | Anti‐Black racism, both interpersonal and systemic, is pervasive. Individual‐ and neighborhood‐level expressions of anti‐Black racism have been explored in many studies; however, Black youths' experiences of racism across routine activity locations have not been examined as extensively. To address this gap, a Youth Research Advisory Board (YRAB) recruited 75 Black youths (M (SD) = 15.53 (1.77)), living in a segregated neighborhood (93% African American) with 42% of residents living below the poverty line, to participate in research on this topic. Participants in the study completed surveys three times a day for a month (ecological momentary assessment) about their positive and negative emotions and perceptions of racism and social support in routine activity locations (n = 2041). Youths reported more racism when attending school and walking on the street. A relationship between perceptions of racism and social support in routine activity locations and positive and negative momentary emotions was found. This paper will present implications for supporting adolescent development and interrupting anti‐Black racism at the level of routine activity locations, along with opportunities for engaging youth‐led community‐based solutions.
