I wish I could influence some of the young African-American men I see at the high school I work at to read Ellison’s novel. The passage you quoted (first page?) is as accurate now as it was in the early ’50’s. Maybe this generation is different. I have yet to meet young folks, black or white, who are reflective enough to answer the question for me.

Thank you, Edward. I’ll never get over the irony of how visibility contributes to invisibility.

I am building a virtual quilt from these passion posts, using your images as blocks, with link-backs to your original posts. You can see the passion quilt article here. And the link to the quilt is here.

I love the way the world has changed. I suspect many students see what Ellison addressed and the art piece as being in another world. I fear this.

Are you watching Black Magic on ESPN? Do you think your black student athletes understand the importance of race and sports?

That is a moving picture. I am always moved by Ellison’s intro piece to that book.
