Listen as Robin and Lisa discuss "A Raisin in the Sun," written by Lorraine Hansberry, a seminal American play that explores the dreams and struggles of a Black family on the cusp of change. Set in 1950s Chicago, it delves into issues of race, identity, and the pursuit of a better life amid societal challenges. The film stars phenomenal performances from Sidney Poitier and Claudia McNeil. Believe it or not, it was based on Lorraine Hansberry's family experiences and the landmark trial Hansberry v. Lee.
