Even during slavery, and in direct violation of the law, enslaved Africans pursued education and operated various forms of makeshift schooling. Certainly after slavery ended, more formal educational training was achieved exclusively by Blacks, but also with the assistance of the Freedmens Bureau. A chief question became, just what kind of schooling should these newly free people receive? The well-known debate between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois centered on two differing perspectives, industrial education and a classical or liberal education, respectively. As proposed in his 1933, The Miseducation of the Negro, how does Carter G. Woodsons position contribute to this contentious issue? The Carter G. Woodson reading is posted (see the PDF file in the Readings folder).
To adequately respond to this prompt, you must reflect on Washingtons educational philosophy and DuBois philosophy by providing a critique (no summary) of each. Be critical here and determine the effectiveness of each mens view on the uplift of the Black race. Then assess Woodsons views on the miseducation of Blacks and again, think critically about how he adds to this discussion. Do you agree with his statements regarding miseducation? Respond. Be sure to review the Reconstruction lecture notes that outline these mens differing views.
Topic: Discuss the effectiveness of each mans educational philosophy.
