A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry tells the story of the Youngers, an African American family living in 1950s Chicago whose lives are transformed when they receive a life insurance check following the death of the family patriarch. As each family member imagines a different future, the play explores themes of race, family, identity, and the pursuit of dreams in the face of systemic barriers.
