"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.
