Not sure if he’s been mentioned and not my personal favorite necessarily, but a hugely important one — Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man from the novel of the same name.

Not on the level of Jim or maybe others, but a big deal. Especially since Ellison was a black author unlike Twain of course.

Do cartoon characters count? Fat Albert and crew were very cool.


And maybe Thorpe, from the White Shadow.

You must be a miserable person. This is a fun thread that also happens to honor black entertainers and characters.

Are you capable of having any fun in your real life or do you act like you do on here?

Yes cartoon characters count.
