A Raisin in the Sun is a play by Lorraine Hansberry that debuted on Broadway in 1959. The play explores an African-American family in 1950s Chicago clashing dreams for the money—to buy a new house in a white neighborhood, start a business, or pursue medical school—and their struggle against financial hardship and racial prejudice.

The title "A Raisin in the Sun" is significant because it directly references Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem" and asks what happens to a deferred dream. In the play, the raisin symbolizes the Younger family's dreams, which are constantly put on hold due to racial discrimination, poverty, and internal conflicts.
