Honoree's Remarks
From the time I learned about the foundational role of Ida B Wells within social work, I wanted to become a social worker. Her leadership in promoting social work as a justice-based profession is ultimately what has informed my research, teaching, and practice. I had the privilege of visiting her childhood home in Mississippi and continue to stand in awe of her ability to infuse social work within the social movements of her time!
