Florence "Frankie" Victoria Adams (b. 1902 d. 1979) was a social worker, educator, author, and community activist. For most of her career, she was associated with the Atlanta School of Social Work (later the Atlanta University School of Social Work), the first school for African Americans to be accredited by the American Association of Schools of Social Work (AASW). Adams joined the faculty in 1931. As a member of the Committee on Group Work of the AASW, she helped influence curriculum and content nationally. During her 33 years with the School she taught some 2,500 students, served twice as Acting Dean, and culminated her tenure as Associate Dean. Adams remained active in social work after her retirement, working with Economic Opportunity Atlanta and volunteering for Project Head Start. She authored two books, "Soulcraft: Sketches on Negro-White Relations Designed to Encourage Friendship", and "The Reflections of Florence Victoria Adams", a history of the Atlanta University School of Social Work. "Reflections" details the development of the School, its leadership and curricula, and includes a brief description of Adams's contributions. She completed the Reflections manuscript three weeks before her death in 1979. It was published posthumously by the School in 1981.
