About this ebook
In 1933, American historian and educator Carter Woodson (1875-1950) delivered a powerful and prophetic denouncement of "Euro-centric"school curricula that still rings true. Woodson inspired black Americans to demand relevant learning opportunities that were inclusive of their own culture and heritage. In issuing this challenge, Woodson laid the foundation for more progressive and egalitarian educational institutions.
The thoughts Woodson expressed in addresses and articles formed the basis for this work, described by The New York Times as a challenging book that "throws down the gauntlet to those who have had anything to do with Negro education, whether of white or black race."
The founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Woodson was also the author of more than sixteen books and the founder and editor of the Journal of Negro History and the Negro History Bulletin. This landmark work remains essential reading for educators and everyone who seeks to understand the African-American experience.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has a lot of truths that still hold true to this day. It shows how even though time has passed, American culture has not. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is wondering about the African American identity and what it means to be black/African in America.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I struggled with this book, but only because it’s very academic, the print is small and the information is so thorough. I’m still not done but plan on completing it eventually. Other than that the writing is excellent and the research is well organized and done.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very inspirational.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is amazing that after almost 75 years this book remains at the forefront of forward thinking. More than just a book, it is a manual; blue print rather for the uplifting and enlightening of a people without the common stowaway of blaming “the-man” as the father, author, creator, and personified of every woe upon the African American people. More amazing yet is that after 75 years the content and thermos of the book remain sound and accurate. The years may have passed but the spirit in which this book was written; the solutions that it gives; and the unequivocal wisdom that lies with in has not. This should most definitely be required reading in every high school English class across America.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book!The premise of the author is that African-Americans can be damaged by education that neglects an accurate history of Africa and the African American contributions in America. He points out that much of the education that has been received by African-Americans has worked as propaganda to produce and propagate self-destructive behavior and life patterns. The amazing thing about this book is that it is just as relevant today as it was when it was written almost a hundred years ago. It is amazing how much things appear to change but remain the same.This is a must read for everyone that is interested in understanding and improving the African American condition.
