The Mis-education of the Negro

Dr. Carter G. Woodson critiques the educational system of the 1930s, arguing that African-Americans are subjected to cultural indoctrination instead of genuine education. He explores how this mis-education perpetuates a cycle of ignorance and disconnection from African heritage, emphasizing the need for a curriculum that reflects and respects the history and contributions of Black individuals. Woodson's work calls for a reevaluation of educational practices to foster true understanding and empowerment within the African-American community.
