The Pulitzer Prize-winning exploration of race and gentrification.
Story:
In 1959, grieving parents Bev and Russ have to fight with white community leaders who are anxious to try to stop the sale of their home to a black family. In the present day and the same home, a white couple who want to buy, raze and rebuild the house, have to fight the housing board who are working to save the predominantly African-American neighborhood from gentrification.
The play was written as a spin-off to Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. It portrays fictional events set before and after the Hansberry play, and is loosely based on historical events that took place in the city of Chicago.
