The child welfare system is a microcosm of white dominant culture within America. It reflects a history of separating Black children from their families guised as protective intervention, which has evolved into disparate outcomes and a disproportionate number of Black children in foster care (Maguire-Jack et al., 2020). This analysis illustrates chronic mishandling of Black families, the impact of double-consciousness on Black child welfare practitioners, and opportunities to infuse anti-racist policies within child welfare.
