Chapter 9

Political Education Neglected

Not long ago a measure was introduced in a certain State Legislature to have the Constitution of the United States thus printed in school histories, but when the bill was about to pass it was killed by someone who made the point that it would never do to have Negroes study the Constitution of the United States. If the Negroes were granted the opportunity to peruse this document, they might learn to contend for the rights therein guaranteed; and no Negro teacher who gives attention to such matters of the government is tolerated in those backward districts. The teaching of government or the lack of such instruction, then, must be made to conform to the policy of "keeping the Negro in his place."

Discussion

“If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”

Chapter 12

Hirelings in the Places of Public Servants

Lenny:

Dr. Carter G. Woodson spoke on concept of "hirelings" as opposed to "public servants."  Hireling is a person who works for pay. Dr. Carter G. Woodson defines the real servant of the people as "one who lies among them, thinks with them, feels for them, and perhaps dies for them. "

“If the highly educated Negroes have not learned better the simple lessons of life one cannot expect the laboring classes to conduct themselves differently. In the large number of cases the employers of Negroes in common labor, in which most of them are now engaged, assert that there is no hope for advancement of Negroes in their employ because Negroes will not work under foremen of their own color. In other words, the average Negro has not yet developed to the point that one is willing to take orders from another of his own race.”

Intro: Chapter 5 The Failure to Learn to Make a Living.

"The Failure to Make a Living”

In this chapter, Woodson points out the problems of attending college and receives technical knowledge but fails to learn its application. In some cases, the technology or application is antiquated by the time they graduate. Also, we treat our business with a lower tolerance for error when compared to the same white business. The white business and the black business make the same mistakes and the difference is the white continue to support their business through the rough growing pains and they are able to bounce back because they have a safety net of capital

"The Educated Negro leaves the Masses"

Main Idea: The Negro church was a tool that we controlled, and we allowed our class difference fracture that potential

Revivals and Dice games

Chapt 8: 

"Professional Educated Discouraged"

Discusses the discouragement many black Americans face in academic settings. Some of the prime examples Woodson brings to light are how black Americans are told there will be no job opportunities in particular fields should they choose to study them, being told they are not fit for certain fields, and being discredited or ignored despite being well educated in a particular field.
