Late, but on #Juneteenth, let's honor the legacy of E. Franklin Frazier. In 1927, he underscored the need for specialized education for Black social workers, illuminating the roles of Women's Clubs & benevolent societies in Black social welfare history. #SocialWork #BlackHistory

"Archives are a partial history" emphasized by David Jones (@SocWkHistory). When conducting historical social work research, it's vital to reflect on this insight. Let's prioritize building marginalized archives for a comprehensive social work/welfare record before it fades away.

We’ll-argued and thoughtful piece by @guz_samantha! @nasw @SWHG1956

Wrote a piece on the importance of public schools amidst rising fascism for @nasw's Spring/Summer newsletter. In the piece I encourage social work to start referring to the “culture war” for what it is— fascism.

Such important work, @EJohnsonLCSW! Understanding local social work history is vital for our communities. It's time to rediscover and celebrate those who have been forgotten or silenced. Their legacies live on, and it's our responsibility to carry their stories forward.

Following up on the post by @CSWA_HoD on my 1st webinar, here's my 1st blog post on the CSWA site that describes the value of knowing & highlighting your local history of social workers who may have been forgotten or deliberately silenced. swarchive.org/collections-bl…
