Alain Locke

    Alain LeRoy Locke fu un filosofo ed educatore fondamentale, riconosciuto come il principale interprete del Rinascimento di Harlem. La sua filosofia del pluralismo culturale enfatizzava l'unicità di ogni personalità e il suo valore nel guidare la condotta umana. Umanista profondamente interessato all'estetica, Locke esplorò come questi principi modellassero le interrelazioni. I suoi quasi quattro decenni di insegnamento alla Howard University consolidarono la sua eredità come profonda influenza sulla cultura e sul pensiero americano.
