Black History Month is a time to honor the strength, leadership, and lasting contributions of Black communities—past and present.

As social workers, we recognize that Black history is not confined to the past; it shapes the systems, policies, and lived experiences we engage with every day. This month, we recommit to listening, learning, and advocating for equity, justice, and dignity for all.
