A Raisin in the Sun

A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a Black woman to be produced on Broadway. The play, by Lorraine Hansberry, tells the story of a South Chicago Black family’s experiences as they attempt to improve their financial circumstances with an insurance payout following the death of their father. This heartfelt play deals with continued relevant issues such as housing discrimination, assimilation, generational divides, and racism.
