While this is true for most Christian denominations, this chapter argues that this segregation is by design. This chapter presents a historical context of race relations within the Churches of Christ. Specifically, this chapter relies on primary sources to highlight this Christian denomination's doctrine that is steeped in racist ideology. Finally, this chapter concludes with suggested strategies towards racial reconciliation within the contemporary denomination.

We firmly believe that knowing and understanding the history and legacy of people of African descent is extremely important in educating African American students. Various pedagogical techniques, assignments, and intentional lecture topics were used in the implementation of this unique teaching style. This article reports the findings from using the African-centered approach in pedagogy and offers implications for social work education in the 21st century for historically Black colleges and universities and other programs with minority student populations.

A formal system was created for White children by White social reformers, primarily in the industrial North and Midwest. This system largely excluded formerly enslaved African children. Consequently, there was a child welfare system created for formerly enslaved African children by African or Black social reformers. This culturally responsive system relied upon the principles of social uplift, mutual aid and race pride. This article highlights the African centered approaches used by Black social reformers to address the needs of their community.

This compelling conversation challenges Christian social workers to examine the role they may be taking in reconciling the racial, social, gender, and economic injustice that exists within their communities. The author also conducts a historical survey of the works of Alan-Keith Lucas and discusses Lucas' views about the role that Christian social workers should take in reconciling racial injustice.

This article examines Carver's efforts towards racial integration during the late 1950s, which was a time of heightened racial tensions across the United States. This article is informed by a series of oral histories of the two African American women who integrated Carver in 1955.

This article seeks to explore the nuances of aid, from the African American community and by progressive whites, as it relates to legislative efforts, economic backing and public health issues. It also seeks to examine motivations for engaging in undermining activities.

This is most evident when examining racialized wealth inequality between Black and White families. This study of low-income employee owners examines the following questions: (1) Does employee ownership reduce the racial wealth gap? (2) How does employee ownership reduce the racial wealth gap, and (3) To what effect does employee ownership reduce the racial wealth gap? Findings indicate employee ownership impacts wealth building, advancement opportunities, and family economic security among Black employees and other marginalized populations. Policy and practice implications to advance employee ownership to address racial wealth inequality are highlighted.

The findings show that social work students experience lower levels of compassion fatigue than the professionals. However, student scores were consistent with the national sample of employed human service professionals. Students with higher levels of compassion satisfaction report lower levels of compassion fatigue. Findings indicate that compassion satisfaction can help to mitigate the negative impact of compassion fatigue. The findings support the need to incorporate preventative education and training throughout the social work curriculum that not only addresses the risks and symptoms of compassion fatigue but also focuses on the benefits of compassion satisfaction and self-care.
