Publisher's summary

The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Godwin Woodson (1933), addresses important economic and social issues that were faced by African Americans. Woodson criticises education in American schools and the emphasis on the history of the Greeks, Romans, and British. He explores the legacy of slavery and the economic situation of Blacks in the time of depression. In each chapter, he considers the results of miseducation on the church, business, politics, and leadership. The book opens with an analysis of the process of miseducation and in each successive chapter, he demonstrates the results of miseducation on the people’s livelihood, on spiritual life, politics, and leadership.

this should be shared. And I will do my part.

As much as I’m saddened to hear much of what this book had to say, it allowed me, now a grown adult, to make sense of the things that I was experiencing going through school and operating outside of my community. When I was young, my community was strong with togetherness, and still shared stories of the past, while expressing the beauty of our culture. Presently, I see none of this. I see everything that this book describes, and I hope to pass it on to people who need to read it. still shared stories of the past, while expressing the beauty of our culture. Presently, I see none of this. I see everything that this book describes, and I hope to pass it on to people who really need to read it.
I enjoyed listening to the voice of the reader. I really wish they were able to leave out the steaks, which at some point made it slightly distracting when becoming deeply engaged in certain parts of the narration. Overall, I will share this book repeatedly.

Great listen. Sad we are still dealing with the same problems today

Great information on our history in America. Sad part is that it sounds eerily similar to the issues we continue to face today……chapter 21 needs some editing

The more things change.

This book, speaking of a time at the turn of the century sounds as though it is speaking of this current time that we live today in 2021.
