description: "Alain LeRoy Locke was an American writer, philosopher, and educator. Distinguished in 1907 as the first African-American Rhodes Scholar, Locke became known as the philosophical architect—the acknowledged \"Dean\"—of the Harlem Renaissance. He is frequently included in listings of influential African Americans. On March 19, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed: \"We're going to let our children know that the only philosophers that lived were not Plato and Aristotle, but W. E. B. Du Bois and Alain Locke came through the universe.\""
