On March 11, 1959, A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway. The first Broadway play written by an African-American woman, Lorraine Hansberry, the show was also comprised of a nearly all black cast.

A Raisin in the Sun was nominated for four Tony Awards, and would run for almost two years. It has been adapted and reproduced countless times, and remains one of history’s finest examples of American theater.
