The Mis-Education of the Negro Carter G. Woodson
Woodson’s most reprinted book is a harsh critique. He charged that elite black educators, professionals, and spokespersons were failing their “downtrodden people.” Mis-educated black students were taught to look down on African culture and deny the value of their own heritage and history—robbing them of self-respect and pride. Woodson urged readers to liberate themselves � om “slave psychology” and provoke radical change.

Woodson makes a call to action
“WHEN YOU CONTROL A MAN’S
THINKING, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT HIS ACTIONS
He will fi nd his proper place and stay in it.
You do not need to send him to the back door… in fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit.
His education makes it necessary.”

Setting a new standard for black students and Charles H. Wesley
With their textbook, Woodson and Wesley showed black history is part of world history.
Woodson said: “We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice. � ere should be no indulgence in undue eulogy of the Negro. � e case of the Negro is well taken care of when it is shown how he has infl uenced the development of civilization.”

W oodson was a scientifi c scholar who made black history a professional fi eld of study. But he was also a “mass educator” who brought history to the people. He created a magazine designed for a general audience, developed home study materials for working-class students, and published children’s books. In 1926 he established Negro History Week, a national celebration we observe as Black History Month. To Woodson, knowledge was the basis for pride and achievement, and it should be shared.

SPEAKING
THE TRUTH
At a time when white publishing companies regularly discriminated against black authors, Woodson founded his own. His Associated Publishers, Inc. challenged negative stereotypes about black peoples’ past.
By the early 1930s, the Association and the publishing company were largely funded by the black community. Woodson said of the company, “We have no desire to make money. We seek merely to serve humanity.”
The Negro History Bulletin, first published 1937 Designed to appeal, the Bulletin carried topics of interest to schoolteachers, students, and young readers. It also featured custom art and photography to help Woodson reach the masses with his message.
The Bulletin is still in print today.

WOODSON’S
WASHINGTON
Woodson’s Shaw neighborhood was an epicenter of black life, with churches, businesses, quality schools, and social organizations. His Office Home was part of that fabric.
Still, Jim Crow reigned. The city was segregated by law. African Americans faced discrimination every day and endured a persistent threat of violence—including a deadly race riot that erupted in 1919. A few years later, the Ku Klux Klan paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue, some 25,000 strong.
Woodson continued to fight bigotry with knowledge. His community sustained his work. Through the support of black churches, schools, teachers, and families, Woodson and the Association pressed on.
Shaw Junior High School graduating class, 1938
Woodson called out Shaw Junior High School for raising “more money for the cause than any other school in the world.”
The school sat just two blocks from the Office Home.
Pageant at Shiloh Baptist Church, 1938
Woodson was a member of Shiloh, which hosted Negro History Week events and fundraising drives that helped support the Association.

Educators could always call on Woodson for help in planning lessons. Woodson tailored Negro History Week kits, the Bulletin’s content, and other materials to fit their requests. In turn, they helped fund his mission.

A gi� ed intellectual, Woodson could have chosen an easier life. Instead, he invested everything into the black history movement. He lived modestly, worked long days, and never married or had children.
Woodson instead made his mark in the circle of people who surrounded him.
He mentored a new generation of scholars, teachers, community leaders, and students.
Each carried on his vision. As one mentee put it, Woodson built millions of monuments—in the “hearts and minds of his people.”

“We do not have to ask for the fictionist, the poet, and the builders of dreams to create [Dr. Woodson’s] greatness. He has been a builder of his own monument.... FOR HE WAS A
DISCOVERER OF TRUTH, AN ORGANIZER
OF TRUTH, A CONTRIBUTOR TO TRUTH,
AND A FIGHTER FOR TRUTH.”
DR. CHARLES H. WESLEY, 1950
