Presenter: Sojourner Truth Social & Racial Justice Visiting Professor Sandra Edmonds Crewe, MSW, Ph.D.
Format: Virtual Event

Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, two giants in social justice advocacy, are the focus of this presentation. As we celebrate Black History Month and the theme 'African Americans and Labor,' their work reminds us of the labor involved in the fight for social justice. The presentation will delve into their legacies and their connection to the values of social work. It will also underscore our roles as social justice warriors and the crucial need to step out of our comfort zones, as growth and change often happen outside of them.
