Ralph ellison a party down at the square summary?

Answer 1

A short story about a young boy witnessing a lynching, ñA Party Down at the Squareî, is the work of author Ralph Ellison that was first published in 1997, three years after his death. It describes the details of the lynching of a black man through the eyes of a young white boy from Cincinnati, Ohio. Although there are other catastrophic events happening, (a thunderstorm, an airplane crashes through electric power lines, a young woman is electrocuted), the most exciting thing to the town�s citizens is the lynching.
