The Mis-Education of the Negro

More about the book

Carter G. Woodson argues that the educational system of his time indoctrinates rather than educates Black individuals, fostering dependency and a sense of inferiority. He urges readers to take charge of their own learning and self-improvement, emphasizing the importance of self-education and critical thinking. Woodson's work critiques societal structures and advocates for empowerment through knowledge, encouraging individuals to challenge the narratives imposed on them.
