Interesting and apt connection here to the Invisible Man. I remember reading it in my teen years and using it to make sense of the class and race problems in NYC.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-28203236312769127222011-09-19T22:59:01.213+01:002011-09-19T22:59:01.213+01:00Yes.

I, too, liked the passage from "The Invisible Man" that you quoted and will go back as well to read it. Sadly, I think that many of the same things are happening here and I often wonder how long it will continue before true violence erupts.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-55235354518902245612011-09-18T22:13:38.640+01:002011-09-18T22:13:38.640+01:00I'm taken with your idea about invisibility, a...I'm taken with your idea about invisibility, and the quote from Ralph E.
