The Mis-Education of the Negro

Originally published in 1933, The Mis-Education of the Negro is a classic in black social thought. Convinced of the singular importance of educated black leadership, yet alarmed at the failure of the educated elite, Carter G. Woodson explores the ways in which the black middle class became mis-educated and lays the foundation for their re-education. Hard-hitting and insightful, Woodson's most popular study remains a must-read for those who want to understand problem of black education in America today.
