Summary:
The book critiques the educational system of the early 20th century for failing to give African American students a sense of pride and knowledge about their own heritage and accomplishments. It argues that this systemic failure perpetuates the racial divide and hinders the black community from achieving economic and social empowerment.
Key points:
1. Mis-Education's Impact: Woodson claims African-Americans are purposely mis-educated to maintain their subservience, fostering a cycle of white superiority and black inferiority.
