By the late 1960s, many black leaders, including Malcolm X, were advocating ideas very similar to those of Ras. Throughout the novel, the reader witnesses Ras exert a magnetic pull on crowds of black Americans in Harlem. Yet, although Ellison objects to the ideology that Ras embodies, he never portrays him as a clear-cut villain. This philosophy leads inevitably to violence, and, as a result, both Ellison and the narrator fear and oppose such notions. Ras’s guiding philosophy, radical at the time the novel was published, states that blacks should cast off oppression and prejudice by destroying the ability of white men to control them. These allusions capture the essence of the character: as a passionate black nationalist, Ras is obsessed with the idea of race as a magnificently charismatic leader, he has a kind of godlike power in the novel, even if he doesn’t show a deity’s wisdom. Ras’s name, which literally means “Prince” in one of the languages of Ethiopia, sounds simultaneously like “race” and “Ra,” the Egyptian sun god. One of the most memorable characters in the novel, Ras the Exhorter (later called Ras the Destroyer) is a powerful figure who seems to embody Ellison’s fears for the future of the civil rights battle in America. Word of the Day: RAS the Exhorter ( 34D: _ the Exhorter, character in Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man"). Yours in puzzling, Christopher Adams, Court Jester of CrossWorld RAPINOE (Sports Illustrated's 2019 Sportsperson of the Year) - per the constructors, the original clue here was, which is the sort of clue that could (and should!) appear way more often in all crosswords.AMONG (Devil _ the tailors (pub game)) - pretty sus to not clue this as Among Us, tbh.I'm never a fan of entries that cross-reference all the way across the grid, especially when there's other ways to clue it, and there's no compelling need / really good reason to do so in the first place. It's referencing an entry in the top left (which is clued without relation to this entry). ENTRE (13-Across, in French) - This entry is at the bottom middle of the grid.

MOD (Operation that yields the remainder from dividing two numbers, in math lingo) - I guess the "in math lingo" part here is to signify that the answer isn't modulo, but given that nobody actually ever says modulo (outside of defining modulo and then immediately switching to mod), this clue could've done without those words.But I'm glad I did-things like (Word in the name of many candy offshoots) for MINIS are the fun sort of clues (of which there's a few in this puzzle, and which I ought to have listed above) that may not give you the answer right away, but that yield a nice "that makes sense!" moment when you do figure them out. Probably the quickest part of this puzzle was going from POP-UP AD to BAD ART and EARPS to dropping in RAPINOE / PRELIMS / STAYS AT-I didn't even look at the across clues in that corner until writing this up. According to co-founder Marie Jackson, "We are here to celebrate an artist's right to fail, gloriously." ( Wikipedia) The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a privately owned museum whose stated aim is "to celebrate the labor of artists whose work would be displayed and appreciated in no other forum".Its permanent collection includes over 700 pieces of "art too bad to be ignored", 25 to 35 of which are on public display at any one time.Explaining the reasoning behind the museum's establishment, co-founder Jerry Reilly said in 1995: "While every city in the world has at least one museum dedicated to the best of art, MOBA is the only museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting the worst." To be included in MOBA's collection, works must be original and have serious intent, but they must also have significant flaws without being boring curators are not interested in displaying deliberate kitsch.The museum has been criticized for being anti-art, but the founders deny this, responding that its collection is a tribute to the sincerity of the artists who persevered with their art despite something going horribly wrong in the process.
