“Set on Chicago’s South Side, Lorraine Hansberry's celebrated play concerns the
divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: son
Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch

changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.”
