	The Black Commentator - Freedom Rider: Ralph Wiley, 1952 - 2004 - Issue 96
		Ralph Wiley was perhaps best known as a sports writer and commentator, but he was also a fine essayist.
		Ralph Wiley's talent lay in his willingness to point out the empty way in which serious issues are addressed by Americans, even when that emptiness was perpetuated by other fl people.
		Wiley began to make his voice heard nationally in 1989 when NBC News produced "The Black Athlete: Fact and Fiction." Television networks had already discarded the documentary as a format but that year Tom Brokaw and his bosses felt compelled to resurrect the genre.

	In Praise of “Spike Lee’s Huckleberry Finn” by Ralph Wiley (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wiley and I were disappointed to learn several months later that Lee decided to make “Summer of Sam” next instead of “Spike Lee’s Huckleberry Finn.” But we were pleased that he had still not ruled out the possibility of making the film.
		Wiley's Jim is smart, sensitive, savvy, self-aware, politically astute, generous, and stunningly altruistic, a compelling and intelligent father, and a slave seeking his freedom in a racist world determined to keep him enslaved.
		In Wiley’s version of this scene, Huck enters into a conversation with Aunt Sally in part to gauge her feelings, to test her, to see whether she might by any remote possibility be an ally.

	An Elegy for Ralph Wiley - Beyond the D-Pad Review
		I can say without flinching that Ralph Wiley was my favorite living American essayist, and I could without flinching name him one of the top 5 writers I had ever read (in no particular order, Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain, Dante, and Antoine de Saint-Euxpery round out that list).
		The plain simple truth is that Ralph Wiley not only could show you a larger truth you’d miss while obsessing over a smaller truth, but he’d force you to confront it.
		Ralph Wiley was the greatest argument against that sentiment that I’ve ever come across.
