I am trying to track down a story I read years ago. It might be by Ralph Ellison but I am not sure. The narrator works at a hush-hush government facility where Black people are being rounded up and detained. He reads one of their letters home. Eventually he learns that they are being used for food a la “Soylent Green.” One character accuses him of being a “n—-r eating SOB.” The story ends with the narrator repeating “My wife is having a baby. I have eaten human flesh….” Thank you.
