UNIT 1: The Politics of Miseducation

Why study Black history? To answer this basic question, this unit explores the work and legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, also known as "The Father of Black History." In the 1930s, he insisted that the American education system - a system of miseducation as he would say - played a critical role in the perpetuation of racial oppression and mental brainwashing. How relevant are his ideas today? This unit is a provocative exploration of the politics of miseducation.
