Ralph Ellison (1 March 1914–16 April 1994) was a 20th century African-American author. Wright's seminal work was Invisible Man.
When Benny Russell was told by Douglas Pabst that that the world wasn't ready for a Negro to be known as a writer, in Russell's case, a story about Benjamin Sisko for Incredible Tales, Russell mentioned examples of such writers as Ellison. (DS9 episode & novelization: Far Beyond the Stars)
