Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart: Lorraine Hansberry

At a time when women, people of color and homosexuals were confined to the margins of society, Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), best known for A Raisin in the Sun, challenged U.S. society to live up to its ideals. Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart tells the story of the young, gifted, black woman who chose words to fight injustice, onstage and off.
