Event date: 8/4/2021 Export event Cat McDonald / Wednesday, July 21, 2021 / Categories: Uncategorized Race, Racism and the Social Work Profession North Carolina Chapter We chose social work instead of another helping profession because of our professional value of social justice. Racial justice should be at the heart of social work practice. Racism is America's defining social problem. By not acknowledging and addressing this, social workers are ignoring their ethical obligation. The social work profession is over 70% white.
