Modern technology, shipwrights claim, render their vessels virtually unsinkable, a view shared by three of the most competent nautical experts of the age, now hastily summoned to the bridge of the suddenly silent liner. Why so few? A little noticed lobbying effort a decade earlier by the major shipping lines had successfully argued that lifeboats (expensive to build and maintain, and worse, consuming revenue-generating deck space) were unnecessary in an era of water-tight doors and wireless communication. She carries on this her maiden voyage 885 crew catering to 1317 pampered passengers, with just 20 lifeboats, enough to hold roughly half of those on board. In a little more than 60 seconds, a several-thousand-year-old piece of ice will scrape along the hull of a two-week old liner named Titanic, dooming the glittering pride of the White Star Line. The time is 11:39 PM Apand the largest moving object mankind ever created is about to rendezvous with destiny. Exactly two weeks later she would lie on the bottom of the Atlantic.

This paper first explores the philosophy of T.Thomas Fortune which held that Blacks must agitate and create disorder in the South, since it was the white race’s order that gave rise to lynch mobs, murder, and rape. Most Black thinkers, as evidenced by the work of Fortune and Wells-Barnett, conceptualized the world from a radical perspective that was pessimistic about the capacity for whites to be morally persuaded against white supremacy and thought that violence against white racist lynchers was the only hope for Black survival in the South. This integrationist tradition is not only the newest, but the smallest tradition in African American thought. The contemporary mode of thinking in American philosophy seeks to establish a bridge between the thought of turn of the century thinkers and 1960 style integrationism.
