Alain Locke (1885-1954) was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard, the first African American Rhodes Scholar, and the architect behind the Harlem Renaissance (a.k.a., the New Negro Movement). In this talk, philosopher Dr. Lee McBride III (College of Wooster) will articulate the basic contours of Locke’s nuanced conception of race, marking some of the benefits of holding a Lockean view.
