Alain Locke

    Alain LeRoy Locke byl klíčovým filozofem a pedagogem, který se stal hlavním interpretem Harlemské renesance. Jeho filozofie kulturního pluralismu zdůrazňovala jedinečnost každé osobnosti a její hodnotu při formování lidského chování. Locke, ovlivněný humanismem, se silně zaměřoval na estetiku a její vliv na mezilidské vztahy. Jeho celoživotní působení na Howard University zanechalo nesmazatelnou stopu v americké kultuře a filozofii.
