Due to The Center’s cancellation of all groups, meetings, and events from March 16 through March 31 (full statement here), we will reschedule this event. Please check back for updates.

This program will focus on the lives and writings of two exceptional Black artists from the last half of the twentieth century: playwright, radical lesbian, and activist, Lorraine Hansberry &  playwright, poet and feminist, Ntozake Shange.

African American Scholar James Wright and guest speakers will discuss Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun & The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window as well as Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/ When The Rainbow Is Not Enuf & A Photograph: Lovers-in-Motion.
