Black History Month
Profiles in Greatness
William M. Ashby
William M. Ashby, a fighter for civil rights for more than nine decades, was New Jersey's first black social worker.
Mr. Ashby applied to Yale University and, in 1916, received a degree in divinity. After graduating from Yale, Ashby was hired as a social worker. Soon after, he joined the Urban League, founding the branches in Newark and Elizabeth. He was its leader for ten years. Ashby also served in various positions with the Newark NAACP, the Newark Human Rights Commission, the Newark Senior Citizens Commission, and the New Jersey Advisory Committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
NASW-NJ is proud to honor the memory of William M. Ashby, a civil rights and social work pioneer and a past recipient of the NASW-NJ President's Award.
