In this podcast, Dr. Lenard Kelley explores who was John Locke. John Locke was a prolific philosopher who greatly influenced the United States of America Declaration of Independence. John Locke was certainly a transformational leader who understood that humans are born free and have a right to keep and manage their freedom how they see fit.  Americans owe a great deal of gratitude towards John Locke because without him, we would not have any of the civil liberties we enjoy and demand today.
