The Mis-Education of the Negro

Mehr zum Buch

Dr. Woodson argues that the education system of his time perpetuates cultural indoctrination among black Americans, fostering dependency and reinforcing societal inferiority. He urges readers to take charge of their own learning and self-improvement, emphasizing the importance of autonomy. Woodson contends that regardless of who holds power, those who rely solely on others for their rights and privileges will ultimately achieve little progress. His work serves as a call to action for self-education and empowerment within the black community.
