The Mis-Education of the Negro Paperback – March 18, 2022

This book is a cornerstone for the progression of African American people as well as providing a historical context to support the rationale for the many challenges that African American people face. I have bought several copies and given them to acquaintances to assist with our understanding and choices going forward. A great small read that I didn't learn about until I was in college, an unfortunate mishap. I could have greatly benefitted from this book in the seventh oreighth grade. A good read!

Fascinating look back (about 100 years) to the “education of the Negro” (formal or informal) by an educator. So much wisdom and insightful analysis and common sense. Explained a lot for me. Sometimes “equality” seems painfully so, but when I read this I understood some of the “whys” and think how far we’ve come in 100 years, although maybe subtract the last 10 years. I sure don’t expect politicians to solve the race problem. The author proposes the Negro must. I hope all races work for each race’s equality and opportunity. Highly recommend if you want more insight into the roots of our present circumstances. Dated language but not difficult and well worth it.

EXCELLENT. SEMI-HISTORICAL. POIGNANT FOR ITS TIME. EFFORTLESS READ. WOULD RECOMMEND.

Great read for those interested in learning some of the solution to the question why our education system didn’ doesn’t seem to be equally taught to the masses and how determined they were to keep us at a disadvantage

Informative!

Great read. Highly recommended!

Great book. I have read it several times.

Interesting read and educational
