NABSW Founders These young, determined, courageous Black social workers laid the foundation for a national organization that would continue to speak boldly for equitable social justice and human rights for Black families, children and communities. As stated by NABSW founder, Dr. Shirley Better, NABSW "...allow[s] us the freedom to discuss, among ourselves with no restrictions, the plight of African Americans in the U.S." Today, the living Founders and the spirits of those who have transitioned, continue to guide the organization and remind us of our mission, vision and history. https://www.nabsw.org/page/Founders the 14th Annual Videoconference (on "Men's Health Disparities") was broadcast from the Tate-Turner Kuralt Building of the School of Social Work.

Instead of promoting interracial adoptions, advocates say, the government should work harder to preserve black families and recruit black adoptive parents. "The parent has to teach the child not only to be human, but to be black," said Audreye Johnson, associate professor at the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a founder of the black social workers' association. She and other black adoption advocates say agencies have a history of discouraging black parents through such things as office hours inconvenient for working parents, social workers insensitive to cultural differences, and standards that disqualify good families who aren't rich or well-educated.

Johnson said the Northside neighborhood -- an area located north of Rosemary Street on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro border -- is known for its poor living conditions. "You can see the difference in housing there," she said."
