Good bye all… VOTE for social justice…I cannot support current direction of Twitter.

[Dean Sandra E. Crewe @HowardU_SWDean]

Today in Rankin Chapel,Dr. Freddie Haynes reminded us in historic Rankin Chapel that justice is motivated by love… He reminded us through his remix to “stay woke and not fall for the okie-doke”. Social workers we must VOTE for victims of injustice. Our ancestors demand no less.

Just finished watching HBOMax documentary Katrina Babies… very emotional. As social workers, we must more fully explore resilience- Who defines it is raised at end of documentary— when resilience becomes the intervention for failed policy it should be of tremendous concern.
