this should be shared. And I will do my part.

As much as I’m saddened to hear much of what this book had to say, it allowed me, now a grown adult, to make sense of the things that I was experiencing going through school and operating outside of my community. When I was young, my community was strong with togetherness, and still shared stories of the past, while expressing the beauty of our culture. Presently, I see none of this. I see everything that this book describes, and I hope to pass it on to people who need to read it. still shared stories of the past, while expressing the beauty of our culture. Presently, I see none of this. I see everything that this book describes, and I hope to pass it on to people who really need to read it.
I enjoyed listening to the voice of the reader. I really wish they were able to leave out the steaks, which at some point made it slightly distracting when becoming deeply engaged in certain parts of the narration. Overall, I will share this book repeatedly.

The should be required reading

This should be required reading for ever high school child and grown person of color. If they control your thinking, they control you!

Great listen. Sad we are still dealing with the same problems today

Great information on our history in America. Sad part is that it sounds eerily similar to the issues we continue to face today……chapter 21 needs some editing

The more things change.

This book, speaking of a time at the turn of the century sounds as though it is speaking of this current time that we live today in 2021.

Needs to be a requirement to read at every HBCU -Ho

This book needs to be a requirement for every student at all HBCUs

The Mis-Education of the Negro

I read this book in High School, and College. Now reading it as a older adult it’s still disheartening, because what held true then, meaning when the book was written, and in my youth is still in play today!
Proverbs 6:9 How long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe?

Must read and very educational

Loved every moment of listening to this knowledge and I’m about to start another educational book on people of my ethnicity
