This commentary explores the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare’s (AASWSW) call to action, the 13 Grand Challenges for Social Work (GCSW), and the role that Black women will have in leading the GCSW initiative. From the historic courage of Ruby Bridges to social work leaders such as Dr. Dorothy I. Height, and U.S. Congresswomen Barbara Lee and Karen Bass, Black women social workers have made groundbreaking strides and contributed to the well-being of society. Despite their many contributions, racism, sexism, and class prejudice remain critical factors in thwarting upward mobility and propagating occupational segregation in many professional sectors. Within social work education, the dynamics of intersecting forms of oppression have also resulted in the underrepresentation of Black women leaders (Banks et al., 2018).

社会工作领导力：黑人女性面临的巨大挑战。

这篇评论探讨了美国社会工作与社会福利学院 (AASWSW) 的行动呼吁、社会工作的 13 大挑战 (GCSW) 以及黑人女性在领导 GCSW 倡议中将扮演的角色。从 Ruby Bridges 的历史勇气到 Dorothy I. Height 博士和美国国会女议员 Barbara Lee 和 Karen Bass 等社会工作领袖，黑人女性社会工作者取得了开创性的进步，并为社会福祉做出了贡献。尽管做出了许多贡献，种族主义、性别歧视和阶级偏见仍然是阻碍许多专业部门向上流动和传播职业隔离的关键因素。在社会工作教育中，相互交叉的压迫形式的动态也导致黑人女性领导人的代表性不足（Banks 等，2018）。
