Lorraine Hansberry’s radical imagination and her sexuality have become part of essential

thinking in human relations. In October 1964, exactly three months after the civil rights act was

passed, it as at the time when Hansberry was known for the play Raisin for the Sun, in addition,

her body was covered in shingles and she was diagnosed with Cancer, this effect made her body

weak obligating her to move into the hotel next to the theatre so that she could not take much

time to get to the rehearsals’ is at this time that the Singer Nina Simone went visiting her and

accord her saying that, ‘I must go well. I must go down to the south’(Hansberry,58). Despite her

condition of having cancer killing her and her play role, she hopes to be part of the civil rights

protests that had started and at the time had spread in the south, the main aim was to know what

kind of revolutionary that she was.

expresses a story of a black related family that fights racists discrimination in the housing as a

result of buying a home in a white environment. Hansberry is of an opinion that the drama is not

movement that was pinned not only on the segregation but on the disenfranchisement and

inequalities that were caused by both produced by liberalism. By consulting Hansberry’s

published and both unpublished works, they seem to cover more on the radical side. Even though

she was raised in Chicago, at an early stage of her life she seemed committed, that is to the

undoing injustices that later on developed to be her culture as she targeted in decrying the poor

who in a long time had been fighting for the housing conditions (Hansberry,70). As Hansberry

grew up, the community became bold in the manifestation of an increase in more radical politics.

In the 1950'S Hansberry who was amid rabid anticommunism risked her life by getting

blacklisted for fighting for socialism, this was both in her home country and in the whole world,

according to Hansberry, she believed in order to achieve freedom from racism, there is need also

to fight the global freedom and also from capitalism. After success in Raisin, this made her the

most outspoken spokesperson on American political dynamics, alongside she strongly
