The aim of this article is to analize the historical lineage of Black conservatives in the American politics. Due to the leading role of liberal Black leadership, promoted by the Civil Right’s struggle, the African-American conservatives have been overshadowed in the public debate. However, the Black conservatives played a major role in the American politics as well, contributing to the mobilization of different trends of the conservative field in the 1950’s. Thus, George Schuyler, journalist and writer, emerged as a key voice in the Black activism and has been a very important intellectual for the understanding of the principles that historically pemeated the political agenda of the Black conservatives and historical changes in the conservative field. Besides Schuyler, we will also approach the experiences of Booker T. Washington and Thomas Sowell in order to give a big picture of the Black conservatism.
