The Mis-Education of the Negro - Softcover
2018 Reprint of 1933 Edition. 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. According to Woodson, history shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for themselves and must depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning.
According to Woodson;
"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary."
