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.

May we continue to uplift voices, challenge injustice, and work toward a more just and inclusive future—together.
