Overview
Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun is a groundbreaking play that continues to resonate in classrooms and communities more than 60 years after its debut. Centering on the Younger family as they strive for a better life in 1950s Chicago, the story explores themes of racial discrimination, generational conflict, dreams deferred, and the struggle for dignity.
A staple in high school literature and drama classes, this modern classic invites rich discussions on civil rights, socioeconomic inequality, and personal identity. Hansberry’s powerful dialogue and poignant storytelling make it ideal for reading aloud, performing in class, or analyzing in depth. It also aligns well with units on American history, African American literature, and social justice.
