The booklets became a standard reference for teaching African American history. Locke is best known as the creator of the philosophical concept New Negro which would initiate the Harlem Renaissance (1925–1939), a period of significant contributions of African American artists, writers, poets, and musicians. In 1925, he edited the book, The New Negro: An Interpretation, an anthology of fiction, poetry, and essays on African and African American art and literature.
