Stolen Legacy & The Mis-Education of The Negro

"The time has come, for the Black man to forget his hero worship of other races, and to create and emulate heroes of his own." - Marcus Garvey Stolen Legacy and The Mis-Education of the Negro, two seminal classic works in one volume. The authors of these books, George James and Carter G. Woodson respectively, discuss the contributions of Black people to civilization and the importance of knowing one's own history. James lays out his premise that Greek philosophy originated in Ancient Egypt, while Woodson argues that Black people as a whole will not be able to tap into their genius by adhering to an educational system not designed for them. Essential reading.
