Walter changes and learns from his mistake. After, what happened with the money issue, Walter realizes what he had done to his family; he realized that he was selfish and made a serious mistake. Karl Linder, the white representative of the Clybourne Park Improvement Association, approaches the family to buy back the house. Throughout this scene, the humor of Linder 's fearful shaky performance that treated him lie beneath his purpose. After refusing the Younger 's hospitality, he gets to the point and offers to “give them a low down on the way we do things out in Clybourne Park” (Hansberry’s 115). After more bumbling, he finally says: “I am sure you people must be aware of some of the incidents which have happened in various parts of the city when colored people have moved into certain areas” (Hansberry’s 116). First, the Younger family are puzzled-does this white man Linder really mean to welcome them to their new home or he is treating us? Later, Linder finally gets to the point: The Association wants to buy back the home in order to keep the younger from moving into the neighborhood. This shows how racial discrimination appeared in African American Society and Jim Crow law were racial segregation state and local law proclaimed after the Reconstruction period in the Southern United
