My View: Social workers are also the leaders of important societal change

The Buffalo News published an opinion piece by Keith Alford, recognizing national Social Work Month and celebrating social workers for their positive impact on individuals, families and communities. He wrote: “Simply put, social workers break down barriers for marginalized populations and uplift communities,” Alford wrote. “What unites all of us is our dedication to racial and social justice and commitment to honoring the dignity and worth of all those we meet.”
