Diversity Film Series: A Raisin in the Sun
Jan. 28, 5:00pm – 7:00pm, Fahy Hall, Rm. 129
Join us for a screening of A Raisin in the Sun, based on the play by Lorraine Hansberry, starring Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee. According to Rotten Tomatoes, “This lauded drama follows the Youngers, an African-American family living together in an apartment in Chicago. Following the death of their patriarch, they try to determine what to do with the substantial insurance payment they’ll soon receive. Opinions on what to do with the money vary. Walter Lee (Sidney Poitier) wants to make a business investment, while his mother, Lena (Claudia McNeil), is intent on buying a house for them all to live in — two differing views of the American Dream.” (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1017123-raisin_in_the_sun)
