Social work is unique in its dual focus of enhancing human well-being and championing social justice. Yet our occupation’s history is also linked to many shameful chapters in America’s remarkable story. Despite visible leadership in our nation’s most important social justice movements and in creating our country’s social safety net, the social work profession has, sadly, contributed to ongoing discrimination and oppression of people of color through its systems, policies, and practices. This event will discuss how social workers advanced racial justice this year and explore the profession's plans for addressing its historic mistakes to achieve an anti-racist future.
