Join us for a discussion of "A Raisin in the Sun." This program is part of Undesign the Redline.

Join us for a discussion of A Raisin in the Sun. The story follows a black family's experience in South Chicago, as they attempt to improve their financial circumstances with an insurance payout following the death of the father. The play deals with matters of housing discrimination, racism, and assimilation. The New York Drama Critics' Circle named it the best play of 1959.
