DID YOU KNOW? for October 31 – November 13, 2023
Alain LeRoy Locke (September 13, 1885 – June 9, 1954) was the first African-American awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 1907. As a writer, philosopher, and educator, Locke’s work helped educate white readers about Black culture which flourished during the Harlem Renaissance. His seminal work, The New Negro – a collection of fiction, poetry, and essays by Locke and other African Americans including Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston – was published in 1925.
