Ralph Ellison Quote

Since today is the first day of African American History Month, I thought I would start off with a quote from the great black author Ralph Ellison (1914-1994) who is best known for his novel "Invisible Man." Here it is:

"I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for being ashamed."
