Lorraine Hansberry wrote of Black consciousness before it was
fashionable, but she bequeathed to all of us a legacy astounding in
its richness and relevancy. Few writers, black or white, are more
relevant to present-day America than Lorraine Hansberry.
Here, for the first time, Caedmon has gathered many of her
plays, interviews, and speeches into one unforgettable
collection.
"A Raisin in the Sun: " an emotionally lacerating landmark of
modem American theatre. A full-cast production starring Ruby Dee
and Ossie Davis.
"To Be Young, Gifted and Black: "a glowing, vibrant, searing
and, at the same time, redemptively joyous self-portrait. A
full-cast production starring James Earl Jones.
"Lorraine Hansberry Speaks Out: " seven interviews and speeches,
recorded between 1959 and 1964, that range in topic from
integration to backlash to the greatness and limitations of
AfricanAmerican leadership.
