9781555233389: The Mis-Education of the Negro

Synopsis

The most celebrated work of this educator, called the Father of Negro History. Originally published in 1933, the concepts in this book remain valid today.

From the back cover:

"The chief difficulty with the education of the Negro is that it has been largely imitation resulting in the enslavement of his mind. Somebody outside of the race has desired to try out on Negroes some experiment which interested him and his coworkers; and Negroes, being objects of charity, have received them cordially and have done what they required. In fact, the keynote in the education of the Negro has been to do what he is told to do. Any Negro who has learned to do this is well prepared to function in the American social order as others would have him.”
—C.G. Woodson
