- Description:
- History recollects Alain Locke as the principal African American Rhodes Scholar and, all the more broadly, as the "Dean" of the Harlem Renaissance. Locke wrote The New Negro: An Interpretation, acclaimed as the "main national book" of African Americans. Alain Locke can be viewed as practically equivalent to Martin Luther King, Jr. Though King supported the social liberties of African Americans through peaceful rebellion, Locke did so through a process known as "social liberties by copyright." During the Jim Crow era, when Black Americans had no successful political plan of action, Locke utilized expressions of the human, racial, sociological, and psychological experience as a technique for students, researchers, scholars, creative writers, and other artisans to win the regard of the White society and to call to their consideration the need to ultimately democratize the majority rules system regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, segregation, discrimination, oppression, and derogatory practices toward all people of color.
