Schools Of Social Work

This paper examines the influence of the Black Power movement on American schools of social work. It discusses the movement that black social workers in the United States carried out within the profession and explains how changes to curriculum standards during the 1970s were an outcome of that movement. A primary goal, then, of the paper is to raise the idea that Black Power as a movement was a pioneer in the radical social work tradition.

King’s radicalism was hard to see or remember after he was assassinated and a campaign for a King Holiday transpired. It became hard to remember that he was the most hated person in America during his lifetime. The black social gospel became more institutional and conventionally political after the King era; liberation theology grew out of the Black Power movement; and womanist theology grew out of black theology.
