how African-American social workers have contributed to the profession and how these students, as future social workers, hope to honor that
legacy. Here are some of their responses.
Erica Manansala, BSW student at Seton Hall University, discusses the impact created by contemporary social worker Malika Berry
of East Orange.
Lara Carter, also a BSW student at Seton Hall University, reflects on the lifetime work of social worker, lawyer, and judge
Edith Spurlock Sampson.
Thanks to all the students who submitted reflections!

 Social Workers and Public Libraries
Partnerships between social workers and public libraries are underway in three municipalities in Somerset County.
Many people are beginning to see public libraries as an ideal setting for the delivery of social services. An article by the Washington Post notes "as centers for community engagement and access to technology, people in need of assistance in many cases are already library patrons."
