Alain Le Roy (or Leroy) Locke, 1886-1954. African-American author and aesthetician. The first major thinker to point out the European artistic tradition's debt to Africa. Outside of aesthetics, his philosophical work focused on the philosophy of education. His leadership of the New Negro movement makes him a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance.
