This course examines the emergence and development of modern black conservatism in 20th-century America.

How and why did it emerge? Did black conservatives consider themselves part of the larger black freedom struggle? How has black conservatism shifted, transformed, and evolved over the course of American social and political development? What is the significance of 20th-century black conservatism in America?
