The Mis-Education of the Negro (eBook)
‘The Mis-Education of the Negro’ is one of the most important books on education ever written. Carter G. Woodson shows us the weakness of Euro-centric based curriculums that fail to include African American history and culture. This system mis-educates the African American student, failing to prepare them for success and to give them an adequate sense of who they are within the system that they must live. Woodson provides many strong solutions to the problems he identifies. A must-read for anyone working in the education field. Carter Woodson (1875-1950) was a prominent black leader and intellectual of the first half of the twentieth century who was born in Virginia to formerly enslaved parents. The second African American to receive a Ph.D. at Harvard, he was a seminal figure for increasing the visibility of black experience in American history.
