Product Overview
The Mis-Education of the Negro, originally published in 1933 by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, is arguably his greatest book. The thesis of The Mis-Education of the Negro is that African Americans of his time were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes African-Americans to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to do for themselves, regardless of what they were taught. The Willie Lynch Letter written by Willie Lynch is widely considered to be one of the top 100 most controversial books of all time. For many, The Willie Lynch Letter is required reading for various courses and curriculums. And for others The Willie Lynch Letter is simply a highly controversial book that they must have as a reference tool and for self enlightenment. This beautifully produced volume, which includes both The Mis-Education of the Negro and The Willie Lynch Letter, should be a part of everyone's personal library.
