- This article highlights the life's work of Elizabeth Ross Haynes, an African American social welfare reformer, politician, and "race woman." Through the Young Women's Christian Association, the U.S. Department of Labor's Women in Industry Service, and other groups, Haynes's work focused on services for women and African Americans during the early 1900s and beyond. She was especially interested in women's labor issues and dedicated much of her professional career to researching, writing, and speaking on this subject. Skilled at manipulating a complex social and professional maze, Haynes's work leaves a legacy that deserves our acknowledgment and respect. This article discusses implications for social work practice based on Haynes's womanist consciousness, her commitment to social work on behalf of her race, and her activist community involvement.
