Description: The Hansberry Story
Description: Lorraine Hansberry�s most well-known play, A Raisin in the Sun, is based on her own experience as a young black woman living in a white neighborhood. It was not a pleasant time. In fact, Hansberry�s family was involved in a famous discrimination lawsuit, Hansberry v. Lee, in 1940. Her family fought against a covenant that tried to keep African-American families from buying houses. They won the lawsuit, but their time in the neighborhood, and Hansberry�s experiences at her predominantly white high school were, in her words, �hellishly hostile.� A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by an African-American woman to be produced on Broadway. She was also the first African American and the youngest person to win the New York Drama Critics Award. (www.enotes.com)
