Alain Locke was born on September 13, 1885 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Locke introduced the Harlem Renaissance to a wide audience.
Much of Locke's writing focused on African and African-American identity. His collection of writings and illustrations, The New Negro, was published in 1925 and quickly became a classic. He has also published articles on the Harlem Renaissance, communicating the energy and potential of Harlem culture to a wide audience of black and white readers. For his part, Locke was nicknamed the "Father of the Harlem Renaissance". His views on African-American intellectual and cultural life differed significantly from those of other leaders of the Harlem Renaissance.
