By Carter Godwin Woodson. The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. Dr. 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 as benchmark to where we were, are, and need to be.
