Answer 1: Locke means by the "New" negro by a vibrant younger generation. The difference from the "old" negro is they are more morally debatable and historically controversial.
Answer 2: Themes 2a. )In the essay Locke wrote he explored the theme of strength. Strength can be shown by taking power over a situation and it can be shown when he stated "by shedding… emancipated" ( Locke 2). It took an outstanding amount of strength to feel spiritual emancipation. Emancipated means liberated from legal, social, or political restrictions. At this time it was difficult to feel and be liberated and to feel spiritual liberated took a power/strength. 2b.) In the essay Locke wrote he explored the theme of rebirth. Rebirth was shown as a way to discover yourself but to also show opportunities. I'm the essay Locke stated @for this [New negro] must… old sentimental interest"( Locke 2). The "New" negro knows the self- discovery he had to do for himself to not make 'discrimination an exentuation' for his talent. 2c.) In the essay Locke wrote he explored the theme of creativity. Creativity was shown by music, art and artifacts. In the essay it stated "recall… there was folk music"(Locke 2). This was the start of music to break away and indulge yourself in the music that is being created. 2d.) in the essay Locke wrote he explores the theme of unity. Unity would mean in this context by brotherhood or a fraternity. In the essay it shown that "with this… conditions from without"(Locke 2). If the 'negro' population came together there is no way an outside force can defy there spiritual or physical beliefs. 2e.) In the essay Locke wrote he expresses the theme of a social challenge. A social challenge is a struggle you face with society and it can be shown in the essay when it states the "the negro has been more of a formula than a human being… a social burden" (Locke 1). Society has this social hierarchy where they put colored people in the bottom pile of it. It makes it seem as if the color u we're born as makes the determination whether or not ur seen as a human being to societies eyes. 3.) Locke influenced the artist of the New Negro Movement by helping them realize to use there cultural as a canvas for there arts and writing. He also influences the diversity of art meaning the style of art. 4.)Extenuate- make (guilt or an offense) seem more forgivable Fervent- having/displaying a passionate intensity Endowments- the act of leaving a will with an income for an individual
