The Miseducation of The Negro

One of the most important works on education ever
published is The Mis-Education of the Negro. Carter
G. Woodson demonstrates the flaws of Eurocentric curriculums
that ignore African American history and culture. This system
miseducates African American students, failing to prepare
them for success and providing them with a sufficien
t understanding of who they are within the system in which
they must operate. Woodson proposes a number of viable
remedies to the issues he finds. Anyone working in the subject
of education should read this book.
