“Never before, in the entire history of the American theatre, had so much of the truth of black people’s lives been seen on the stage.. .. That marvelous laugh. That marvelous face. She was my sister and my comrade ... on the same side of the barricade listening to the accumulating thunder of the hooves of horses and the treads of tanks.”

So wrote James Baldwin of Lorraine Hansberry and her first play, A Raisin in the Sun, which made her, at 29, the youngest American, the first woman and the only black playwright ever to win the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for the Best Play of the Year (1959). A Raisin in the Sun was produced and published in some thirty countries and made into an award-winning film starring Sidney Poitier. Five years later, while her second play, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, was running on Broadway, Miss Hansberry died of cancer at the age of 34. Her posthumous play Les Blancs was presented on Broadway in 1970 starring James Earl Jones and Cameron Mitchell.

To Be Young, Gifted and Black is the story of Lorraine Hansberry, told in her own words. It begins with a gallery of the characters she created and a speech she delivered shortly before the opening of A Raisin in the Sun. And from there it moves back and forth in time—from earliest childhood in the Chicago ghetto to memories of her first trip south and images of slavery it stirred in her; from school days and the race riot at Englewood High to the year at the University of Wisconsin when she first encountered the plays of Sean O’Casey, the great Irish writer whose work so profoundly influenced her own; from the years of creation and triumph in New York to the search (in Act Two) for meaning and relevancy and ever-deepening involvement in “the movement” that followed success.
