Publisher Description
In 1933, American historian and educator Carter Woodson (1875-1950) delivered a powerful and prophetic denouncement of "Euro-centric"school curricula that still rings true. Woodson inspired black Americans to demand relevant learning opportunities that were inclusive of their own culture and heritage. In issuing this challenge, Woodson laid the foundation for more progressive and egalitarian educational institutions.
The thoughts Woodson expressed in addresses and articles formed the basis for this work, described by The New York Times as a challenging book that "throws down the gauntlet to those who have had anything to do with Negro education, whether of white or black race."
The founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Woodson was also the author of more than sixteen books and the founder and editor of the Journal of Negro History and the Negro History Bulletin. This landmark work remains essential reading for educators and everyone who seeks to understand the African-American experience.

Must read
It is hard too believe that a book so relevant to our current culture was written so long ago. Education is the key to enlightenment, "mis-education" results in social stagnation and in some cases regression.
This book is very necessary!!!!!
Carter G. Woodson was ahead of his time. This book is as important today as it was the day it was printed. I don't care about race, Racism is woven in the fabric of America. We need to focus on the mis education of the African Americans in the USA. Integration was the worst thing that could've happened next to slavery itself to the blacks in America.
