Spirituality and the Black Helping Tradition in Social Work
by Elmer P. Martin and Joanne M. Martin

In the Black helping tradition, spirituality is the sense of the sacred and divine, which gave Black people the strength to go on when faced with threats to their self-worth, dignity, and even their existence. Taking primarily a historical perspective, Spirituality illustrates how early Black caregivers and pioneering social workers used spirituality in the struggle to achieve racial justice and gender equality to create a truly democratic society, and examines how it can be used in social work practice today.
