Also, we are deeply iridebted to the many ~ocial work practitioners and consumers in the Model Cities area who willingly participated in the research. We pa!ticularly want to thank Kay Toran, Research Advisor, for her early support and encoura~ement. She gave us the courage, determination and assistance to pursue this study. We particularly appreciate her assistance in every phase of the study, including the collection of data, critical readings, and general editing. Her assistance has not been confined to advising, but has transcended to include discussion of ideas and concepts presented in this project. ii Preface This research was undertaken in response to the many 1 questions raised by Black social work students concerning the need for Black content to be in~luded in the social work curriculum at Portland State University. Black s~udents at social work institu tions throughout the country are presently attempting to develop a curriculum that will improve the delivery of so~ial services in the Black community. Therefore, we have developed ,in the following pag~s a rationale and a suggested model for the introduction of appropriate Black content into the social work curriculum.
