Recently And Today In the multi year somewhere in the range of 1861 and 1865 this nation was in common war over the rights and opportunity of blacks in America. At the point when everything was said and done, the blacks won their opportunity and increased a few rights that would improve their lives. Almost one hundred years after the fact, in 1959, Lorraine Hansberry kept in touch with her incredible play, A Raisin in the Sun. It depicted the regular day to day existence of a dark family in the Southside of Chicago at some point after World War II. All through the play, Hansberry discusses the troubles that the Younger family faces attempting to get starting with one day then onto the next; the issues that ought to have been settled by the Civil War. Much after the Civil War and this play, a large number of these issues despite everything exist today. The main trouble that the Younger family faces is helpless lodging. The play begins in a little two room loft with Ruth awakening her child, Travis, who dozes on the love seat in the family room. He dozes on the lounge chair since one room is utilized by Ruth and Walter and the other by Mama and Beneatha. Each morning they get up ahead of schedule so they can get to the one restroom that is shared by the entirety of different families that live in the complex. At the point when Mama discusses putting an initial installment on another house, Ruth says, Well, Lord knows, weve put enough lease into this here rodent trap to pay for four houses at this point (p. 1817). At the point when she says rodent trap you would normally think about a portion of the houses today with barricaded or broken windows, unattended yards, and avenues that are secured with potholes. Be that as it may, in the film, it is not at all like that. The film portrays the loft in an entirely decent manner. You can say they made the best of a terrible circumstance. There is additionally segregation in Hansberrys play. It is shown in a couple various ways. Walter can't land any position aside from as a chauffer for white family. At the point when Ruth says.

While then again Ruth and Mama work in kitchens and accomplish house work for white families. Lastly, Beneatha is going to class to turn into a specialist, and all she gets from Walter is badgering since she is a dark female.

He himself is segregating his own sister by generalizing a womans place in the public arena. In spite of the fact that it is illicit, this sort of segregation is still genuinely basic today . In the event that an individual of a minority and a white individual both go in for a meeting for two positions, all things considered, the white individual will show signs of improvement of the two employments. Because an organization says that they are an, equivalent open door business, doesn't imply that they generally stick to it in light of the fact that there is typically an approach to get around most things. Another way that they are oppressed is costs for the essential things required throughout everyday life. As Margaret B. Wilkerson calls attention to in first experience with the first screen play, there is where Mama stops to purchase natural product at the neighborhood advertise, however is incensed by the nervy and ill bred white representative just as the low quality and significant expense of organic product that, as she says, was at the Last Supper (p. xxxii). So Mama made a special effort and went to an open market in Chicagos far Southside, to an outdoors advertise that was ran by most likely predominately dark dealer that had top quality produce for a small amount of the expense. You can see this pattern in costs even today. Not exclusively is it towards minorities, yet this likewise influences whites. It is by all accounts the wealthier the network
