Alaine Locke

[Terrance]

Alaine Locke was considered the elder statesman of the
Harlem Renaissance. He
was the first Black to earn a Rhodes scholarship (1907). In
1912 Locke joined the
faculty of Howard University after earning degrees at
Harvard and Oxford. He
served as editor for the ground breaking anthology The New
Negro which contains
his essay of the same name. 


I've also recommended this book and series: The Immigrant
Heritage of America Series and *ASIAN AMERICANS*  An
Interpretive History by Sucheng Chan, Twayne Publishers,
Boston, 1991

Slavery in the Eatern US was not very economical, but in the

history, it ain't long, but boy is it interesting. 

The bull's eye shifted, but the target remained. 

Hey, what about those irisn Pynchon mentions in M&D? What
