Summary: Five African Americans trying to make a living.
Review: The play A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is about five African Americans who live in a dingy house. They all work as maids or chauffeurs. In the play, Lena (the mother) had gotten a very large amount of insurance money. Lena wanted her son to take the money and put it in the bank, but he thought it would be a good idea to take the money and invest in some liquor company. Instead of going to the stock market company, he gave the money to a stranger who his family did not know. He (Walter) told the stranger to go and take the money to the stock market to invest for him, but the strange man didn't do that. Instead he took the money and ran off. The story resolves as the family is trying to move into Clybourne Park, but the moving man would keep trying to bribe them into not moving into a white neighborhood. After a while they just didn't care so they moved into Clybourne Park anyways.
