Chapter 14 Quotes
To educate the Negro we must find out exactly what his background is, what he is today, what his possibilities are, and how to begin with him as he is and make him a better individual of the kind that he is. Instead of cramming the Negro’s mind with what others have shown that they can do, we should develop his latent powers that he may perform in society a part of which others are not capable.

Explanation and Analysis:
Woodson adamantly believes that effective education has to develop students’ specific talents and abilities. Based on this idea, he outlines a vision of how a suitable curriculum for Black university students would be structured. It can’t simply be based on learning about “what others [Europeans and white Americans] have shown that they can do.” Instead, Black people ought to also study African literature, folklore, and philosophy. They should investigate African culture’s influence on Black American culture, and they should learn economics with a specific eye to building successful businesses and enriching their community within the 20th-century U.S.’s segregated economy.

Chapter 18 Quotes
The Negro can be made proud of his past only by approaching it scientifically himself and giving his own story to the world. What others have written about the Negro during the last three centuries has been mainly for the purpose of bringing him where he is today and holding him there.

Explanation and Analysis:
At the end of The Mis-Education of the Negro, Woodson returns to the important link between improving the school system and expanding scholarly research into Black life and history. This also helps him justify his own work as a historian and the founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. In fact, all the parts of his argument fit together and provide a coherent theory of the relationship between scholarship, education, and social change. In a way, this can be seen as Woodson’s personal mission statement. First, Woodson thinks that the Black community needs to advance Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.
