Abstract

Alain Locke's philosophy of cultural pluralism contained a vision of American society that would be inclusive of ethnic European immigrants and also those of the American Negro. Drawing on themes developed during the new Negro movement and the Harlem Renaissance, Locke developed a vision of Negro adult education emphasizing culturally—grounded adult education. The Harlem and Atlanta experiments in Negro adult education sponsored by the American Association for Adult Education actualized many of Locke's educational ideas from 1931 to 1935. Locke's role as evaluator of these projects provided him the opportunity to apply his philosophy of cultural pluralism to adult education.
