By the year 2060, it is projected that there will be more senior citizens than children in the US. Omg, wait, I will be one of them! 🤔 @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

Most Seniors pensions, if they even have one, are LESS than $25k annually. @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

Funding for elderly related needs, Medicaid, Medicare, social security, etc., constitutes for nearly 50% of the US budget. @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

[J @MSW_Loading]

Only about 5% of Senior citizens live in senior designed institutions like nursing homes. Truly thought that there was way more. @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

I’m ch10 of C.O.L. I learned that local govts taxed blacks more heavily than whites, even if wages and tax rates were identical. #SOCWPolicy2023 @DrFeMurray

In ch. 9 of C.O.L., I learned that law enforcement did NOTHING to aid a black family being terrorized by their community for being the 1st black family in the neighborhood. Whites threw bricks, DROVE into, and burned crosses at this home. #SOCWPolicy2023 @DrFeMurray

In chapter 8 of C.O.L., I learned that an act to prove that various races could live in harmony was refused and rejected by a property management association for the reason of not wanting a town to become a “laboratory for social experiments. #SOCWPolicy2023 @DrFeMurray 🙄

After watching the ICWA video, I would like to know about specific factors that contribute to why so many Indian children are adopted out. Are the factors different from other children? @DrFeMurray @prissyts #SOCWPolicy2023

[J @MSW_Loading]

The ICWA video was eye opening. As a black person, I know the effects that Amerikkkans have had on my race and lineage, but it is interesting to see the effects that this nation has had on so many other cultures. @DrFeMurray @DestaniErwin #SOCWPolicy2023

I’m shocked that in 2019, the poverty guideline for a family of FOUR in the U.S. was $25,750!! I can’t live on that by myself!! @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

[J @MSW_Loading]

A surprising fact I learned about poverty was that if a persons income is even $1 above the poverty threshold, they are not officially “poor” and are disqualified from benefits, even if their well-being mirrors poverty. @DrFeMurray #SOCWPolicy2023

In Ch. 7 of The Color of Law, I was shocked to learn that in 1976 the IRS denied the tax exemption for a University because the school did not allow interracial dating among students. #SOCWPolicy @DrFeMurray

[J @MSW_Loading]

From Chapter 6 in The Color of Law, I learned that often racial integration caused property values to INCREASE. #SOCWPolicy @DrFeMurray

Today I felt closer to change. Today I felt proud to be an MSW student. Today I felt like the long nights and early mornings will be worth it. Today I am excited about tomorrow. @DrFeMurray #TarletonSWAD23 #SWADTX2023 #PAVINGPATHWAYS

So I can just walk right into the Capitol, and speak with my Legislators about my concerns??? @DrFeMurray #TarletonSWAD23 #SWADTX2023 #PAVINGPATHWAYS

[J @MSW_Loading]

NASW membership is available to students? I thought I had to be done! Sign me up! #TarletonSWAD23 #SWADTX2023 #PAVINGPATHWAYS @DrFeMurray

[J @MSW_Loading]

At SWAD I saw so much diversity. Individuals with passion from so many groups! SO Encouraging to see that the future of Social Work is in color! @DrFeMurray #TarletonSWAD #SWADTX2023 #PAVINGPATHWAYS

[J @MSW_Loading]

Elated to know that there is action toward paid practicums for Social Work students! Free labor is soooo 18th century! @DrFeMurray #TarletonSWAD23 #SWADTX2023 #PAVINGPATHWAYS

From chapter 5 in #TheColorofLaw I learned that in Massachusetts, deeds prohibited the resale of property to “any negro or native of Ireland.” I always thought it was just the south #SOCWPolicy @DrFeMurray

[J @MSW_Loading]

From chapter 4 in TheColorofLaw, I was surprised that in the early 1900s blacks that tried to integrate white neighborhoods were typically of higher social status than their white neighbors. #SOCWPolicy2023 @DrFeMurray
