A Reevaluation of African Education: Woodson Revisited.

Okafor, Victor Oguejiofor

Journal of Black Studies, v22 n4 p579-92 Jun 1992

Reviews the ideas of C. G. Woodson (1875-1950) about the inappropriate education received by African Americans. Although Woodson's book, "The Mis-Education of the Negro," was written in 1933, his diagnosis of the state of the African-American community appears to hold up well today. (SLD)
