Question 1. "Hitherto, it must be admitted that the American Negroes have been a race more in name than in fact, or to be exact, more in sentiment than in experience. The chief bond between them has been that of a common condition rather than a common consciousness; a problem in common rather than a life in common. In Harlem, Negro life is seizing upon its first chances for group expression and self-determination. It is or promises to be a race capital." (Locke 193.)

Question 2. Locke's work is rooted in the north. How might regional or geographical factors impact the message?

What are your thoughts about the work of the Harlem Renaissance artists and class? Here, also factor in what you learned via the video on the life of Marcus Garvey.
