The Journal of Negro History

The Journal of Negro History was a quarterly journal about the African-American history, which started being published in the early 20th century. It was founded by Carter G. Woodson, in 1916.

As all other volumes, this volume too gives an overview of the life of African-Americans, but the focus is on the public school education of Indians and African-Americans, which was established in 1620, by establishing private institutions.

In the early history of America, the colonists didn’t want to teach the slaves, being afraid that with their enlightening they will become Christians. That’s why many people forbade the teaching of their slaves. And this lasted until the time when the Bishop of London issued a formal declaration in which he stated that the change did not work the freeing of the slaves.

One of the first claims on the pioneer Christian teachers was the rudimentary education of the African-Americans.

This book reflects the education of African-Americans and Indian in the past, at the same time pointing out the fact that the education is important for everyone, regardless of their cultural, ethnic or national background. It is a civil right that no one has the right to forbid it.
