Alain Locke, the father of the Harlem Renaissance. He was a quiet genius from Philadelphia who gave structure, soul, and direction to the cultural movement. As the first Black Rhodes Scholar and a Harvard-trained philosopher, he didn’t just join history - he shaped it. Locke gathered poets, painters, and dreamers, telling them the ‘day of aunties, uncles, and mammies is gone’ and that they were achieving a ‘spiritual emancipation’. He lit the path for artists like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale
