The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson is a classic work that critically examines the education system's failure to provide African American students with a comprehensive and empowering education. Woodson argues that the curriculum and teaching methods perpetuate a distorted view of African American history and culture, contributing to the perpetuation of racial stereotypes and systemic inequality. This book challenges the traditional education system and calls for a curriculum that reflects the experiences and contributions of African Americans. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of education and race.
