Ralph Ellison Foundation

Our Creative Writing Workshops have showcased some of the most talented writers, poets, and scholars in Oklahoma. Adults and student attendees continue to improve their writing skills. They are exposed to multiple genres in our workshops and many have gone on to write their own book. Beyond learning writing skills, they are challenged to view the world through the eyes of the presenter, thereby enriching their perspective of other peoples and cultures. With proper funding, the Foundation can carry the Creative Writing Workshops throughout Oklahoma, create a publishing company to publish local authors to highlight the stories of Oklahoma.

The Foundation is proud to keep our The Light Bulb Room: A Podcast for the People available as a digital legacy of interviews with Ellison scholars and modern era activists.
