About the book
Raises questions that readers were trying to answer in 1933 and are still trying to answer today. Explores the impact of slavery on the Black psyche and raises questions about our educational system, such as what and who African Americans are educated for, the difference between education and training, and which of these African Americans are receiving. Provides solutions to these challenges, but these require more study, discipline, and an Afrocentric worldview.
