On Sunday, June 19, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern), ESPN will air a documentary titled "Classic Wiley," a profile of Ralph Wiley, noted writer and commentator, who died suddenly in 2004 at 52. The program features comments from filmmaker Spike Lee and others. While Ralph Wiley is primarily known as a sportswriter, he also wrote screenplays, including an adaptation of _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ for Spike Lee. (See article at http://faculty.citadel.edu/leonard/od99wiley.htm for "In Praise of 'Spike Lee’s Huckleberry Finn' by Ralph Wiley," by Shelley Fisher Fishkin; and selected scenes from Wiley's manuscript.) Wiley also extensively discussed Twain in his 1996 book _Dark Witness: When Black People Should Be Sacrificed (Again)_. Since the documentary will appear on ESPN, the focus will probably be on his career as a sportswriter, but it is likely that his role as social critic and screenwriter will be discussed as well.
