THE MIS EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE

When we reprinted the first edition of The Mis-Education of the Negro, more than fifteen years ago, there was a great stir in the Black community. It was not as dynamic as was the uproar about my reprinting Stolen Legacy, by George G. M. James, but the message was clear: “you have no right to print these books without permission.” While I was of no doubt that I had a perfect legal right to redo the books, the moral imperative did cause me to take a good look at my motives. The first, of course, I knew that to republish the books in the numbers that my market was demanding would mean instant riches for me and my family. And trust me, that is a dynamic motive; one that should never be ignored by a committed warrior to the Liberation Struggle of Afrikan people. For committed warriors’ families have a need to be made whole, just as any other family. And it is not easy to justify sacrifice to the woman of the house who has to feed and clothe the children on resources that is yielded by work that is done in service to liberate Black people. The other motive was that both books, ‘Mis-education…’ and ‘Stolen Legacy’were priceless as for as the information needs of Black people. Even today, there are few books on a par with them, that can pull the covers that hide the facts about our true history. When the Reparations Movement moved into high gear, these two books, along with Message to the Blackman, by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Reparations,Yes, by Dr. Imari Obadele, Atty. Chokwe Lumumba and Professor/Atty Nketchi Taifa were essential for a thorough understanding of why we were demanding to be paid Reparations, now. These books tell in the clearest language and context possible about the evidence of what was taken/stolen from Black people. And of course, there is yet to be any book that outlines our legal case like Reparations, Yes! When one adds the essence of TheMessage to the Blackman, The Spiritual Dynamic, you then have the three major component aspects of the what the Liberation Struggle of Afrikan people is all about. For me personally, the information motive was magnified because I had first hand evidence. The books were/are essential to my way of thinking. And acting. They prepared me for my work. After reading them, any doubt about our rights and the possibility of the success in prosecuting the enemy and bringing him to justice was completely removed. We will win.

THE UNDERSTANDING OF KNOWLEDGE EQUALS WISDOM

The understanding of the knowledge in the books gave me the wisdom to act to help in the cause. And the republishing of the books, save Reparations, Yes, would afford the chance to understand the great issue as I do. And the understanding would render others the wisdom, as it did me. This was a powerful motivation, indeed!. But I was still perplexed. To deal with this perplexity I consulted with my Elders. Specifically, I consulted with Prof. John Henrik Clarke and Dr. Ben Jochannon. Prof Clarke assured me that I was on solid ground. His only concern was the Association of Negro Life and History (the organization that nominal carries on the work of Dr. Woodson). But when I told him there were already publishers doing what I was

Page 5: Mis-Education of the Negro

proposing to do. And the major one was white. All concerns fell away from the prier Black historian of our times. He had no opinion about Stolen Legacy. He had his own copy in tatters but that was it. He needed a new copy. For guidance about the morality involved in its’ publication, he pointed me to Dr. ben Yosef Jochannon. Prof. Clarke told me that Dr. ben was a friend of the family of Dr. James. I called Dr. ben. His friendship had waned with the James Family. But he assured me that there were some still alive. He also told me that I should contact them so they could be “taken care of.” But he could give me no contact information. He did steer me to the school where Dr. James taught Arkansas University. And he told me that the remaining family members lived in the Washington/Maryland area. I tried, but never made connected with anyone. Finally, I called the press that was presently reprinting Stolen Legacy. That would be Julian Richardson in San Francisco. My purpose for calling him was to assess his capability to meet the demands that the book was commanding in the Marketplace. It turns out that the reason his book was so vastly over priced was because he was printing them on his own small press 1000 to 2000 at a time. . He couldn’t possibly meet the requirements and orders that I had for the book. So now any concerned I had about reprinting the book and selling it at a lower price, were removed. I printed 10,000 copies. Mr. Richardson, rather than see me as a co publisher, or printer, wanted to keep me as a customer of his printings. The reprinting of The Mis education of the Negro was a different story. I didn’t even bother to check out the Association of Negro Life and history. I had bought copies of the white printings myself. The fact that they were the dominant publisher made my decision very easy. So I published the Mis-education of the Negro, not as quickly as I could have, but certainly in time to earn some good money in satisfying the marketplace. Later, my research into the life of Dr. James connection to Arkansas University yielded a large benefit. One of my booksellers gave me a copy of a University year Book from the time George G. M. James was a Professor. In the book was a photo of Dr. James. I promptly inserted his photo book on the front cover of The Miseducation of the negro. The rest is history.
