The playwright Lorraine Hansberry's best-known play, A Raisin in the Sun, was first performed in 1959. The play, which tells the story of a Black family trying to achieve the American Dream, is set in Chicago, a city that Hansberry knew well. However, the play's success was not immediate, and it took several years for the play to be recognized as a landmark work of American theater.
