      ab: The article focuses on addressing anti-Black racism within social work education, emphasizing the need for deeper cultural competence beyond existing standards. It defines anti-Black racism as systemic and structural discrimination rooted in White supremacy that affects Black individuals’ socioeconomic status, education, and legal conditions. The authors advocate incorporating Afrofuturism—a vision valuing Black lives and culture—into curricula to inspire equitable futures, alongside transformative learning processes that challenge students’ assumptions and promote antiracist practice. They highlight the importance of integrating explicit antiracist content in both social work practice and research courses, including mandatory Black history education and implicit bias training, to equip future social workers with the knowledge and skills to combat racial injustice effectively.
