Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s The Mis-Education of the Negro (1933) argued that Black education in America trained students to uphold oppression, not overcome it. Dr. Goodwin Woodsun’s famous quote—“Harvard destroyed more minds than whiskey!”—captures the danger: elite institutions often mold thinkers who serve power, not liberation.

This applies far beyond the U.S. Jamaica, the Caribbean, and Africa continue sending top talent to Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge, only to watch them return as enforcers of the same systems that exploit their homelands. Jamaica’s Finance Minister Nigel Clarke (Oxford) is joining the IMF—an organization infamous for crushing post-colonial economies. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Andrew Holness studies U.S. gun laws abroad while Jamaica burns.

Black America faces a parallel crisis: generations taught to chase prestige at institutions that erase their history and condition them to accept inequality. True empowerment requires education rooted in our communities, not borrowed from our oppressors. Jamaica, the Caribbean, Africa, and Black America must build their own centers of excellence—schools that cultivate leaders who serve their people, not global elites. Until then, the cycle continues: Harvard’s destruction outlasts whiskey’s.
