Alain Locke’s book “The New Negro: an Interpretation” had a profound impact on the lives of Black and white community in the United States. The legacy of his book has lived on up to date. Alain Locke was seen as the face of change and hope for the black community after publishing his book. It gave way for new interactions between those who lived in the south and those who lived in the North. Alain Locke is not a household name like other civil rights activist like Nelson Mandela, but many scholars see him as the founder of the civil rights movementi . His work on the Harlem Renaissance project and the book he wrote played a key part in transforming the way black people look at the world and the white community. It allowed many African-Americans to see themselves on a level playing ground with their white counterparts who had for so long oppressed them. The book inspired many young black children to seek a life fulfillment and aim for the best that the American experience could offer. The book also contributed towards the increased criticism of the white supremacy methods that had made black people slaves in their own country. The book was placed in at the forefront of the New Negro movement which he had sparked. Many people refer to him as the Father of the Harlem Renaissance, and up to date his pictures and pages of his original book are displayed in universities and museums.
