A thought provoking look at what happens when a black family on the Southside of Chicago attempts to change their stars. Lorraine Hansberry is ahead of her time. There is so much richness and nuance in the characters that we will be contemplating the trials of the Younger family for generations to come.

Read it alongside this audiobook I found on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5GQPLeJJna8 The emotion in this play is so raw; I teared up more than once. The story of an exhausted and desperate African-American family in the post WWII era who have everything against them but refuse to give up on their hopes and dreams.

...when you starts measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is.
pretty enjoyable... would be fun to see it performed one day. definitely an entertaining read for school.

I found it a surprisingly great book. I usually don't like reading plays, nor do I usually enjoy reading american literature, but this was an exception. I found I really loved reading it and especially the ending. I think this is as important as is suggested. Lots of great lines and was surprisingly funny yet had it's strongly powerfully written scenes that make you feel.
