I
recently read The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson. Many of the
people around me had read this book before. As a matter of fact over 1 million
people have read The Mis-Education of the Negro. As I read the book it became
clear to me that if dark people had read it, they have done a good job of
ignoring it. When you look at our community you see a people that looked at
Woodson’s advice to us and did the opposite. Woodson thought the way that the
few conscious people think today. It has been almost one hundred years since
Woodson has written The Mis-Education of the Negro and our community is
actually worse off now than it was then. It is sad, but as long as I have
breath I will work for a better community the best way that I can. The way that
you will if you read and follow Carte G. Woodson’s advice in the Mis-Education
of the Negro.
