Essay assignment
Had you lived during the times of [the Great Society, Jane Addams, Frederick Douglass, other] what do you think it would have been like to practice social work then? How would you feel about the life chances of clients? How does your view of what it would have meant to practice social work in those times compare to how you think it will be when you start your career given the current historical times?
can help us “recognize ourselves in new ways... and cultivate the gift of fanning the spark of hopein the past.”
