Bard acquires complete intellectual rights to Ellison's oeuvre

As part of the center's establishment, Bard College receives all intellectual rights and royalties from Ralph Ellison's complete body of work, including "Invisible Man" (1952). The transfer was negotiated during a four-hour lunch between trustee John F. Callahan, executor of the Ellison estate, and Nicholas Alton Lewis, Bard's associate dean.
“Bard made sense for two big reasons: Ellison had a genuine history there, and they understood the full breadth of his interests.”
