Written in the late 1950s and set in south Chicago, A RAISIN IN THE SUN depicts The Youngers, a black family who live subject to the racial and class barriers of the time and who have recently lost the patriarch of the household. When his life insurance policy pays-out $10,000, it offers the chance for new beginnings, but not everyone in the family has the same ideas about how to spend the windfall.
