Abstract: \;This paper builds on ideas in a chapter of my forthcoming book with Oxford University Press\, \;Intersectionality: A Philosophical View\, \;and it anticipates theses in a book in progress\, \;Affirmative Action is Dead\, Long Live Affirmative Action. With elite schools as a target\, the US Supreme Court has struck down what&rsquo\;s known as Affirmative Action\, whereby minority racial identities may be positive factors for admissions. However\, more than a half century of resistance to the backlash against Affirmative Action ensures that the idea of Affirmative Action leads to new conceptions of it and progressive action on that basis. One &lsquo\;candidate&rsquo\; for these efforts is consideration of class in place of race. However\, there is &ldquo\;class&rdquo\; in the Marxist sense of identity tied to economics\, and &ldquo\;class&rdquo\; as forms of &lsquo\;capital&rsquo\; that can be taken up á\; l carte\, so to speak. Along those lines\, I argue for the importance of higher education for minorities as an egalitarian opportunity to pursue and develop leisure\, an argument that resurrects the wrongness of Booker T. Washington&rsquo\;s aspirations for advancement through primarily or only the practical work and labor needed by dominant sectors of society.
