“If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”
― Carter Godwin Woodson, The Mis-Education of the Negro

The thesis of Dr. Woodson's book is that blacks of his day were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes blacks 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

Excellent Read! Carter G. Woodson really enlightened me on history that I've known very little about. I was never taught black history in school (by design) and this book puts things in perspective. Historical revelations bring focus to this famous read. Every black child in the world should be required to read this book.Some of the problems in this book, is still going on today I gave this book four stars. The reason I gave this book a good rating, because the problems I read in this book about the mis education of the negro, still exists today. For example, black people still don't show one another respect especially if he or she has prosper in life. Black people still cannot take order from another black person for some reason but when you put a white person in charge, blacks will listen without no problems. Also black people do not have confidence in themselves and want to depend on the government ,which still make you a slave because you put in the hard work, you can accomplish anything in life. I'm a black man and I see this everyday and I'm sick of it. We don't shop we each other because we don't trust each other and blacks love to keep other blacks down instead of helping. I hope one day we can all come together but for right now, I know I sound pessimistic but it's not happening. Black people in the early centruy will be ashamed to see how the black people act today.How much of this still applies? I did not find this book as helpful as others I have read for book club. I found it a little difficult to read and did not enjoy the author’s convention of referring to himself in the third person all the time.As a younger white person, I don’t really have a sense of how much of what he claims still holds true, particularly with regard to his comments on black churches and communities. I mean, I feel like everyone in school should be taught about the accomplishments of black people right along with everyone else in history. I feel like some progress has been made since the 1930s as far as black people being represented in more diverse occupations, though of course more work needs to be done.
