A Raisin in the Sun
In society we encounter different personalities in our daily lives such as the way one person speaks and how a person judges another. There is all kinds of race in the world, but some cannot get along with each other because they think they are better than the others. In the play “ A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, you can see how race becomes a huge impact because during the slavery movement till 1960’s there was a conflict between the African Americans and white americans due to their skin color.

The Younger’s family are all black: Walter Lee Younger the chauffeur, Beneatha Younger who is twenty years old and goes to college to become a doctor, Lena Younger is Walter and Beneatha’s mother, Ruth Younger is Walter’s wife and Travis Younger mother, and Travis Younger is the youngest in the family.
