The Negro in our History was written by Carter G. Woodson, also known as the
Father of Negro History. This is a classic in the field but I am not sure
how it relates to today's youth. Typically I have weeded many newer books
that contain the term Negro in the title but have kept the Woodson title
because of the significance of the author. The title is available
electronically (http://www.cwru.edu/UL/preserve/stack/Negro.html ) so
students will still have access to it even if it is removed from your
shelves. This is one of the many books I always hoped to get around to
reading ...
