The Miseducation of the Negro

*The Miseducation of the Negro*, by Carter G. Woodson, critiques how African Americans have been historically miseducated through inadequate schooling and biased narratives, which fostered ignorance, self-doubt, and dependence on white supremacy. The book argues that true education should affirm Black identity, history, and achievements, empowering individuals and communities. Woodson emphasizes that misinformation and cultural neglect hinder progress, and advocates for a conscious effort to provide accurate, respectful education that promotes self-awareness, pride, and social equality. It's a call to reclaim knowledge as a tool for liberation and dignity.
