"The Mis-Education of the Negro" is a book originally published in 1933 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. The thesis of Dr. Woodson's book is that blacks of his day were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes blacks to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to "do for themselves", regardless of what they were taught.

Carter Goodwin Woodson was an African-American historian, author, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Woodson was one of the first scholars to study African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1915, Woodson has been cited as the father of black history. In February 1926 he launched the celebration of "Negro History Week"; it was the precursor of "Black History Month".©2017 Cosmo Distribution (P)2017 Cosmo Distribution African American Studies Americas Black & African American Education Social Sciences Specific Demographics United States Thought-Provoking

This book gives so much background to why we continue to be in the situation that we are in. Also, it gives a lot of insight into why we often sabotage ourselves and our people.

this book will make you examine your role in society and how you make a living. I didn't even expect this book 2 have the ability to increase my economic earnings. one of the main points that it stresses is to look for bettering your community and taking advantage of the untapped resources in the African American community. the orator was excellent. not only does it give you some history on why things are the way they are in the African American community but it also offers Solutions. like not being ashamed to sell items the betterment of your community instead of another nationality doing it I i e corner stores

this book is a precursor to the awakenings of the sleeping negro. to gain independence and potentially uniting we must first understand the bandages and how we got there. well this book will help you understand how and why
