NEW YORK (AP) - Nine years after the death of award-winning author Ralph Ellison, a towering bronze sculpture honoring him and his extraordinary novel, "Invisible Man," was unveiled Thursday opposite his longtime home in West Harlem.
Bill Cosby and wife, Camille, actress Ruby Dee and folk singer Odetta were among several hundred people who filled Riverside Drive in front of The Beaumont apartment building Thursday for the ceremony. Ellison, who lived at The Beaumont for more than three decades, died in his eighth-floor apartment in 1994.
