Although he made some great points, what particularly stood out was when Mr. Lewis said: "Sometimes you have to ask for something you know you might not get. And yet, you have to ask for it. It is always worth fighting for and, even if you don't believe you will see it in your lifetime, you must support it so that the next generation takes it from their hands and, in their time, see it as a goal for which is worth fighting for again. Segregated education in America is unacceptable. Integration is, and remains, the goal worth fighting for (Kozol, P.316). » This author felt that this section was important to highlight because social workers are agents of the state and are often the intermediaries between change and action, but sometimes they do. They do not recognize their power, do not feel that change is progressive, and do not advocate for ideas because they may be considered extreme. Mr. Lewis seemed to understand that social workers work for the government and for the oppressed and that they determine the extent and timing of change. This excerpt seemed to be the ultimate call to action for social workers, a call to action that, according to this author, has been lost at the master's level in social work.
