There have been many great writers who have had impact upon the world in

which we live. Among the best of them, in my opinion, is Ralph Ellison.

Ralph Waldo Ellison was born March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, OK to Lewis

Alfred (a construction worker and tradesman) and Ida (Millsap) Ellison. Ellison was

raised in a cultural atmosphere that encouraged self-fulfillment. After studying jazz and

classical music from 1933 to 1936 at Tuskegee Institute, Ellison traveled to New York
