The Mis-Education of the Negro

Meer over het boek

Examining the cultural indoctrination of African Americans in early 20th-century education, Dr. Carter G. Woodson argues that such conditioning fosters dependency and a sense of inferiority within society. He encourages readers to pursue self-education and independence, challenging the prevailing narratives of their time. Through this call to action, Woodson advocates for a critical reassessment of educational practices and the importance of self-determination among black individuals.
