Answer: The Old Negro was a product of stereotypes and judgments that were put on them, not ones that they created. They were forced to live in a shadow of themselves and others' actions. The New Negro according to Locke is a Negro that now has an understanding of oneself. and in 1925, Alain Locke published the article "Enter the New Negro" and defined "New Negro" as "augury of a new democracy in American culture." Locke took the term to a new level.
