When labor actions like the LAUSD Strike put district power structures under a spotlight, the questions that surface - who controls curriculum, whose labor is valued, and which communities bear the cost of institutional neglect - are not new. Carter G.

Woodson mapped them in the 1930s, and his analysis has lost none of its edge.

The Mis-Education of the Negro examines how exclusionary curricula and systemic indifference within public schooling undermine Black students, stripping them of historical grounding and limiting their capacity to thrive inside institutions that were never designed with them in mind.

Woodson moves beyond diagnosis: he proposes concrete reforms to curricula, teaching practices, and community-level educational authority, arguing that genuine change requires restructuring what is taught, who teaches it, and whose interests the system actually serves.

The book clarifies why fights over school staffing, district budgets, and classroom content keep recurring in the same patterns - and why the stakes of those fights extend far beyond any single contract negotiation. A foundational text for understanding the deeper fault lines beneath urban education crises.
