Black History is Day 4

"Locke is best known as the creator of the philosophical concept New Negro which would initiate the Harlem Renaissance (1925–1939), a period of significant contributions of African American artists, writers, poets, and musicians."~ The National Museum of African American History and Culture (Smithsonian)

On this 4th of #BlackHistoryMonth2023, we celebrate Alan Leroy Locke. He is symbolic of Black intellectual depth and intrigue. With his forward thinking of Black culture, he is often attibuted with inspiring the Harlem Renaissance. Thus, we can pay homage to Lock for the era in which art and expression among African American propelled, perhaps giving Americans an over-indulgent taste of how African Americans and Blacks can (and will) dominate all aspects of intellectualism and expressionism.
