About this book

The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. Carter G.

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.
