Just before the start of Banned Books Week, an event put on by the American Library Association, a North Carolina county bans Ralph Ellison's "The Invisible Man" from school libraries.

"Ellison urged African Americans not to allow 'the single tree of race to obscure our view of the magic forest of art.'"
