Classic Book Discussion: 'A Raisin in the Sun' by Lorraine Hansberry

When: Wed., Feb. 22, 3-4 p.m. and Thu., Feb. 23, 3-4 p.m. 2017

Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of black America--and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun." No registration required.
