Which inference about Locke’s anthology, The New Negro, is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 14)?
One of the most beautiful parts of the Harlem Renaissance was the complexity of ideas circulating regarding art, race, and African American identity. Members of the Harlem Renaissance were eager that their art and philosophies were not oversimplified: James Weldon Johnson wrote in his book about the period, Black Manhattan, that “Harlem is still in the process of making. It is still new and mixed; so mixed that one may get many different views—which is all right so long as one view is not taken to be the whole picture.” Locke’s anthology captures some of those many perspectives, allowing modern-day readers to understand that the Harlem Renaissance was a multi-faceted movement encompassing many viewpoints.
