Food for thought
The Founder is never revealed to be a specific person yet is mentioned in Chapter 5 to be this man us such stature. But the narrator's identity is not revealed either, and he claims he is invisible. Connection....probably.
In addition to this statement, The Founder's story is described by Homer Barbee, who, at the end of his speech, is revealed to be blind. The mask that has been put over his eyes could be the reason for why he believes the Founder to be so grand. This is also seen in the way donors to the school perceive Dr. Bledsoe. When Bledsoe says to the narrator, “Damn what he wants. We take these white folks where we want them to go, we show them what we want them to see.” we see that he puts a mask over the white man, forcing them to believe he has the utmost respect for them while still manipulating their money. Dr. Bledsoe wants to conceal the hidden power the blacks have and use it to his advantage which is probably the main reason why he ships the narrator to New York.
