Today In History

Lorraine Hansberry’s drama, A Raisin in the Sun, opened at the Barrymore Theater in New York on this date March 11, 1959.

The title comes from the poem “Harlem” (also known as “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes). The story tells of a black family’s experiences in south Chicago, as they attempt to improve their financial circumstances with an insurance payout following the death of the father, and deals with matters of housing discrimination, racism, and assimilation.

This was the first play written by a Black woman to be performed on Broadway.

Weep, darling, weep. Let us both weep. That is the first thing: to let ourselves feel again... and then, tomorrow, we shall make something strong of this sorrow. (The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window by Lorraine Hansberry)

Lorraine Hansberry's lesbianism is one of my favorite pieces of Black literary history.

Today We Honor Lorraine Hansberry

Playwright, writer and activist Lorraine Hansberry was the first African-American female author to have a play performed on Broadway ‘A Raisin in the Sun.’ The title of the play was taken from the poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes: “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?”

Hansberry also was the first African American playwright, the fifth woman, and the youngest playwright to win a New York Critics’ Circle award for her play.

Throughout her life she was heavily involved in civil rights. Many prominent African American social and political leaders visited the Hansberry household during Lorraine’s childhood including sociology professor W.E.B. DuBois, poet Langston Hughes, actor and political activist Paul Robeson, musician Duke Ellington and Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens.
