Read with me in February: A Raisin in the Sun

Join me in February for one of my favorite plays, Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun.

It’s been called “one of a handful of great American plays” by the Washington Post and its author, Lorraine Hansberry, was the youngest American playwright and first African American playwright to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play of the Year. The play was later adapted to an award-winning film starring Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee.
