This chapter presents the July 1904 essay, “False Theory of Education Cause of Race Demoralization,” where Fortune called attention to the fact that there were educated men who “have been saturated with the notion that their paramount mission in life is to lift up the race.” This, according to Fortune, created a race of leaders rather than a group of faithful followers “to execute the wise policies of capable men.” In the end, Fortune concluded that this sort of education has paralyzed “the thought and action of the race.”
