Ralph Ellison: Renaissance Man
Published on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - 4:45pm
Ralph Ellison was born in Oklahoma in March 1914. After three years at Tuskegee Institute, Ellison moved to New York City in the hopes of earning enough money to finish college. Instead, he got involved with other members of the Harlem Renaissance, who encouraged him to continue with his writing. In celebration of Ellison's work and March birthday, Petworth Library has put up a display, including:
Three Days Before the Shooting
Ralph Ellison in Progress 
Ralph Ellison: Invisible Man
Living with Music
