"The mis-education of the Negro by Dr. Carter G. Woodson follows the thesis that African-Americans of Woodson's day were being culturally indoctrinated rather than taught in American schools. This, he claims, causes African-Americans to become dependent and seek inferior places in society. Woodson challenges readers to "do for themselves," regardless of what they were taught. "History shows that it does not matter who is in power ... those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning."--P. [4] of cover."@en
"The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. Carter G. Woodson shows us the weakness of Euro-centric based curriculums that fail to include African American history and culture. This system mis-educates the African American student, failing to prepare them for success and to give them an adequate sense of who they are within the system that they must live. Woodson provides many strong solutions to the problems he identifies. A must-read for anyone working in the education field."@en
"Argues that African-Americans were not being educated in American schools during the 1930s, but were instead being culturally conditioned so they could accept and fit in with American culture."@en
"2010 Reprint of 1933 Edition. The Mis-Education of the Negro stands as one of the most essential texts of the African American experience. Within its pages are the lessons of a people "mis-educated" to think they are inferior based solely on the color of their skin. The aftermath is one of confusion in which the African American unsuccessfully mimics the behavior of whites in his learned self-hate, leaving the gifts of his culture behind. Woodson takes an in-depth view to analyze racism in the educational system; he argues that mis-educated blacks are a hindrance rather than an aid in the progression of the race. He states, "The large majority of negroes who have put on the finishing touches of our best colleges are all but worthless in the development of their people." In the end, he urges everyone (with no exception) to incorporate the history of African Americans into their curriculum and for African Americans to embrace the gifts of their own culture and trust them to bring progress to the race. For this reason he is known as the "Father of Black History"."@en
""Herein are recorded not opinions but the reflections of one who for forty years has participated in the education of the black, brown, yellow and white races in both hemispheres and in tropical and temperate regions. ... Discussing herein the mistakes made in the education of the Negro, the writer frankly admits that he has committed some of these errors himself. In several chapters, moreover, he specifically points out wherein he himself has strayed from the path of wisdom. This book, then, is not intended as a broadside against any particular person or class, but it is given as a corrective for methods which have not produced satisfactory results."--Preface, page 3."@en
"The Mis-Education of the Negro by Dr. Carter G. Woodson follows the thesis that African-Americans of Woodson's day were being culturally indoctrinated rather than taught in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes African-Americans to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. Woodson challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to "do for themselves," regardless of what they were taught. "History shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning."--P.

"In 1933, Carter Woodson delivered a powerful denouncement of "Euro-centric" school curricula that still rings true. Woodson inspired black Americans to demand relevant learning opportunites that were inclusive of their own culture and heritage."
