A Raisin in the Sun

A Raisin in the Sun - Story of a young black man and his family; his struggle to break free from barriers of prejudice, and the family's strength and courage. When it was first produced in 1959, A Raisin in the Sun was awarded the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for that season and hailed as a watershed in American drama. A pioneering work by an African-American playwright, the play was a radically new representation of black life. "A play that changed American theater forever."--The New York Times.
