Today We Honor Lorraine Hansberry Playwright, writer and activist Lorraine Hansberry was the first African-American female author to have a play performed on Broadway ‘A Raisin in the Sun.’ The title of the play was taken from the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" Hansberry also was the first African American playwright, the fifth woman, and the youngest playwright to win a New York Critics’ Circle award for her play. Throughout her life she was heavily involved in civil rights. Many prominent African American social and political leaders visited the Hansberry household during Lorraine’s childhood including sociology professor W.E.B. DuBois, poet Langston Hughes, actor and political activist Paul Robeson, musician Duke Ellington and Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens. “To Be Young, Gifted and Black.” CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #cartermagazine #historyandhiphop365 #carter #staywoke #lorrainehansberry #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #history #staywoke #araisininthesun https://www.instagram.com/p/CnO_5XbruBL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here a few of my shots of Sidney Poitier's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star on Hollywood Boulevard honoring legendary actor and movie star Sidney Poitier. I arrived at dusk to see his Star adorned with flowers and tributes arranged around his Star and to the side a foam core mounted image of Sidney with a white floral garland around his photo. It was a lovely tribute a great man who broke racial barriers and opened up the movie industry for greater opportunities for people of color. May his memory be a blessing for us all.

"What’s dangerous?”

“When a man goes outside his house to look for peace.”- Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun
