Abstract | The author argues that the ascendance of individualistic, free market-oriented ideas about the education of Black people is best understood as the product of the decline of collective social movements. The careers of two of the most well-known American Black educators illustrate this pattern. Booker T. Washington and Geoffrey Canada rose to prominence in similar political circumstances and made similar choices that reshaped education for Black people. The defeat of Reconstruction and of the Black Power movement are the essential contexts for Washington's and Canada's respective trajectories. By examining their careers, public statements, and relationships side by side, it is argued that their educational and political ideas represent a form of free market idealism. The similarities are striking. Both men are celebrated advocates of African American education and uplift; were funded and promoted to national attention by philanthropy; came to prominence in an era of defeat for African American social movements;and enthusiastically embraced free market ideology.
