The Mis-Education of the Negro

By: Carter Goodwin Woodson

Narrated by: Anthony Stewart

Here is an unapologetic look into the factors that have caused so many Blacks to think and act in the negative way they do towards themselves and others. This timely body of work is from a man well versed in the American educational system, as well as educational systems throughout the world. Dr. Carter G. Woodson was the second Black person to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University after W. E. B. DuBois. He served as Dean of Education at both Howard and Morehouse universities. And he was over the entire educational system for Malaysia for three years.

Founder of Black History Month, Dr. Woodson would go on to write over 20 books detailing Negro history and life. His life story is as much of a classic as this monumental book.

American History

Any history void of contributions from any particular culture, nation, or people of pigment...is propaganda. American history is full of people from all backgrounds and colors. Sadly this is not the history taught in our schools. Humanity's history is full of color. In the absence of this color in history books, then men are forced to take up the pursuit on their own. Black history is an effort to fill in the missing gaps in American history. African history is the history of the entire Human race. This book is a must read for everyone. Every person must make his own commitment to discover the truth of man's origin and expansion. We are all much more alike than different.

Should be required reading from 6th grade on!

Dr. Carter G. Woodson's book is as relevant in 2018 as it was in 1933 when published. I only wish I had read it years ago, read it to my child, & given it as a gift on any special occasion!

Good read

Sometimes overstated but a good read nonetheless. I would recommend this as a good foundation

enlightening

narrator was to fast speaking other than that it was a very good story. I will listen to it again and again

Very good but the narrator

Excellent book but the narrator was reading to fast. One has to rewind several times to get important points.
