About this item

Here is an unapologetic look into the factors that have caused so many Blacks to think and act in the negative way they do towards themselves and others. This timely body of work is from a man well versed in the American educational system, as well as educational systems throughout the world. Dr. Carter G. Woodson was the second Black person to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University after W. E. B. DuBois. He served as Dean of Education at both Howard and Morehouse universities. And he was over the entire educational system for Malaysia for three years.

Founder of Black History Month, Dr. Woodson would go on to write over 20 books detailing Negro history and life. His life story is as much of a classic as this monumental book.

I learned that how much effect that was taken towards people to be taught to learn how to provide for themselves and not get taken for a ride. Even though I grew up in it. My mom shield and protect me as best she could.

Some of the terminology is a little dated, but the facts and observations are still relevant today. History based on real life experiences is underrated. You’re not going to find this kind of thought provoking truth many places.

Although I’ve read this book several times I reader (narrator) has a great readers voice that keeps you listening from beginning to end. I think I was able to think about the contents more.
