	APA Newsletters 98:1 - Alain Locke and the Language of World Solidarity
		A third component of Locke’s conception of cultural particularity is that cultures are composites; cultures are dynamic and their vicissitudes are effected in part by contact with other cultures.
		Locke hoped that artists could achieve the world peace or common civilization that politicians were unable to bring about, and, in the words of Eugene Holmes, "that the reciprocity and tolerance which might emerge once there was a genuine sense of value-sharing would lead to integration in a real direction" (Holmes 1957, 118).
		Depending on the interpretation one takes of Locke’s dichotomy between the cultural and the social or political, the effects might be a cultural world solidarity but a dominant political body drawing on a single linguistic culture (in other words, a bifurcated existence), or perhaps an elaborate cultural-linguistic stance that requires political implementation of multilingual institutions.

	Journal of Negro Education, The: Alain Leroy Locke: Crusader and advocate for the education of African American adults
		Alain Locke had an indisputable and significant impact on the adult education movement in the United States.
		Consequently, Locke's convictions about the tremendous possibilities for intergroup relations through the education of the masses, etched in his philosophy of education generally and adult education specifically, have not received the critical attention such convictions would otherwise normally warrant.
		Given these converging descriptions, Alain Locke can thus be viewed as an erudite, intellectual visionary who not only dreamed of the possibilities for improving the human condition, but who actively and vigilantly sought to alter the state of race relations in this country.
