what influence do you think Locke had on the artists of the Harlem Renaissance (or the New Negro Movement)?
Instructions: Module #9 Response – Harlem Renaissance Write a deliberate and thoughtful response of no more than one page (single-spaced) or two pages (double-spaced) to the following Module Response Prompt. Remember, your response should not include simple plot summaries for stories or poems. Instead, these responses should demonstrate your understanding of the module as a whole (the Big Picture). This will be your chance to make connections between different authors and their works (inside or outside of that module), as well as comment on significant historical or cultural events as they relate to the readings. Use the Module Notes and author web links to your advantage by synthesizing the information with the assigned readings. Grammar and punctuation will count. Submit your Module Response through the appropriate Module Response assignment links found in each Learning Module, or else under the Module Response link in blue along the left side of the screen. Please type your response in a Word file (.docx or .doc) or a Rich Text File (.rtf) or a text file (.txt), save it, and then attach it as your submission.
