In his article “Enter the New Negro,” Locke covers the subject of the New Negro identity in detail, yet there is still little mention of Black women or other minorities within the community. The article is written for a “he” and that is apparent in its content. Locke refers to the New Negro as he throughout than entire article, listing the qualification one must observe in order to overturn the historically negative interpretation of African- Americans. While good natured, Locke fails to address multiplicity in the identity that people of color experience.
