pages written by ellison. mcnally jackson books in new york city hosts the hour long book. >> my friendship with ralph ellison, indeed, my getting to meet him and know him is very much an american story. it goes back to 1977, 1978. well, as ellison, invisible man, goes way back behind that i suppose. i read invisible man when i was in college, actually the same age as -- i was the same age as adam bradley would be when he read "invisible man" and when i showed him the boxes from the second novel, the boxes of analyst's computer printouts, and asked him if he would help me with this project in 1994. but i had wanted to write about ellison's work for a long time. and finally, in 1977, i wrote an essay on ellison, called "the historical frequencies of ralph waldseemuller dough ellison" and in this piece, i try to make the case that ellison's essays, and at that time, many others, some of them weren't published at all, and many of the most compelling essays hadn't made it into "shadow and act." ralph says, -- he u

ellison, ellison's wife, john and finally meet.ounding thing to go from spanish class to reading a listen's unpublished second novel. mythic almost in its proportion. an astounding thing. to have this opportunity. and i was ready for it because i was and ellison groupie by that point. i had read "invisible man" and he was my god. he was helping me to understand myself. he was helping me to understand literature. i was ready to be blown away. but then i saw something i never would have imagined from an author of this stature, something that forever changed the way that i would look at fiction both from the perspective of a teacher that i have become, the writer i have become and editor of this volume three days before the shooting. the thing that i saw was a typo. this may seem like a small sort of thing to notice but as i flipped through more pages i kept seeing additional moments like that, that even i as a 19-year-old kid could have the audacity to say i could write a better sense than that. i know how i could fix that sentence.

ellison made those cuts. his forthcoming book on ellison is about that. i will leave it to you to talk about that. ellison did all of it. no one impose it on him. >> there's so much in there that actually had to write a separate book to cover this. ralph ellison in progress is coming out in may. i looked at the invisible man typescripts to see what kind of book it would be had we had these other pages. it is it will not a better book but it is a different book. for instance, "invisible man" is married at least in one of the iterations of the novel. he is married to a white woman, member of the brotherhood. ellison cut out in various stages a host of characters some of which remain in shadow form in the published novel. we have a prologue and epilogue and scenes in between. you can always go back to that first person, the solidity of that. this is teeming with voices, black, white, young, old, all sorts of things going on. he didn't have the same place to go to keep it on the line. he had to look for other elements of his craft to bring it together. the fa

ellison. mr. ellison: i thank the gentleman from colorado for raising these issues. i want to say that the progressive caucus has some essential principles we believe are essential to have in any immigration bill. we know that a version was dropped in the senate. there's another dropped in the house earlier. we want -- what we say is we think we've got to keep families together. we have to create a path to earned citizenship. this isn't handing out citizenship to anybody. people have to take care of the business that the gentleman from colorado already mentioned, paying all taxes. going through courses in english and citizenship. making sure that they do everything that they have to do to make sure that -- that at least they're allowed to be on a path that will lead them to citizenship and that there be employment verification. there are other important values there i think we should talk about as well. the fact is, one of those values is respect. another value is identifying the fact that young p

ellison: madam speaker, my name is keith ellison and i am here yet again on behalf of the progressive caucus to talk about a progressive message. a progressive message, the idea of which, madam speaker, is to help convey to the american people that there are a body of members of this united states congress who care about making america fairer, more inclusive, greater respect for due process of law, promoting peace around the world. there is a progressive caucus in the united states congress. many members are a part of it. over 80. and we are advocating policies that would make america at peace with its neighbors, promoting peace around the world, being a force for bringing nations together. we are talking about immigration reform and i'm joined today by one of our very best speakers and freshman leader here in the congress who has distinguished himself very early on in many areas by mr. jar odd polis who i'm going to yield to for just a moment. but tonight, madam speaker, we're going to be talking about taxes because today is tax day. we're going to be talking about taxes from a progr

and larry ellison has had the costliest coverage at $1 million annually between 2005-2008 for his home security. and other personal executives must disclose their security along with other compensation, but by contrast in 2009, on its proxy filing apple lists no personal security costs for ceo steve jobs. >> it doesn't necessarily mean that where there is no disclosure that the ceo is not receiving some kind of protection, but it is simply means that that is an item that the company is not paying for. >> in the meantime, ford's 2009 proxy lists the chairman bill ford receiving personal security benefits of more than $1 million last year. spokesman says that the amount was determined by the security needs. on the other hand, the automaker spent about $43,000 on personal security for ceo alan mulally in 2009. consultants say that the mix of other personal benefit compensation can play a role in the disparities, but the big numbers raise big questions for some shareholders. >> when the price tag starts to go up, when you get over $500,000 and $1 million, you have to think about, you know,

my next question is how did he really grapple with the criticism because one of his others ralph ellisonriticized along with louis armstrong, he really did get bad when the black nationalist told him--. >> essentially armstrong grappled with the criticism by living his life. occasionally he would try to set the record straight and talk about the things he had done. but he didn't lose a whole lot of sleep over what people said about him, even though he didn't like it. he wasn't the kind of man to lose a whole lot of sleep about anything that anybody said about him. as far as what he contributed to race relations, i think i can answer that question best buy telling a story. i come from a town in southeast missouri called sikeston. none of you will have heard of it. my father witnessed a lynching. it was that kind of town. louis armstrong-- excuse me. for many people in that town, louis armstrong was probably the first black person they ever took seriously as an artist, as a man. i think that by reaching out through his art and his personality, he bridged gaps. that no one else could have b

ellison: you know, madam speaker, i was just in my district about a week ago at a little church, right there in south minneapolis, where a lot of folks gathered from the faith community, they were catholic, they were protestant, they were jewish, they were christian, they were muslim, they were hindu, they were of the hmong spiritual tradition and they were of no faith at all but they came together to make an appeal to the american people for comprehensive immigration reform. i think it's important to understand the faith community has done a tremendous job in making sure this issue is at the forefront and the faith community has placed such a great job because the faith community understands -- has done such a great job because the faith community understands one thing, all human beings are endowed with dignity which we as fellow human beings must respect if we're going to be in accordance with that faith tradition. i want to thank them for their advocacy and i want to let them know that i respect and appreciate their work. let me also just mention in the waning minutes of our present
