TRIVIA BITS ... LORRAINE HANSBERRY

TRIVIA BITS ... LORRAINE HANSBERRY
It was not until 1959 that a play by a black woman was produced on Broadway. Twenty-nine year old Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, about the problems, both serious and comic, was successful. A Raisin in the Sun is a 1961 drama film starring Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, Diana Sands, Roy Glenn, and Louis Gossett. The adaptation was based on the play by Lorraine Hansberry.
