Made Blind, Deaf and Dumb while in diapers

Some quotes from Carter G Woodson's "Miseducation of the Negro". See how relevant they are STILL today. THIS book should be on every Black organization's reading list because the act that his quotes are STILL relevant speaks volumes.

"In the schools of Business administration, Negroes are trained exclusively in the psychology and Economics of Wall Street and are therefore, made to despise the opportunities... among their own people. Foreigners who have not studied economics but have studied Negroes take up this business and grow rich"

Negroes have no control over their education and have little voice in their other affairs.... Negroes are always such a minority that they do not figure in the final working out of the educational program. The education of the Negroes, then, the most important thing in the uplift of the Negroes, is almost entirely in the hands of those who have enslaved them and now segregate them".
