lorraine hansberry

Lorraine Vivian Hansberry was a playwright and writer. She was the first African-American female author to have a play performed on Broadway. Her best known work, the play A Raisin in the Sun, highlights the lives of Black Americans living under racial segregation in Chicago. 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?" At the age of 29, she won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award — making her the first African-American dramatist, the fifth woman, and the youngest playwright to do so. Hansberry's family had struggled against segregation, challenging a restrictive covenant in the 1940 US Supreme Court case Hansberry v. Lee.

She's hot. She's the kinda of person everyone wants to be with and always think of when they want to have a fun time. A lot of people know her. She can be a bitch at times but is fun to party with. She is a very loyal friend and will be there to help someone, but she will always start the rumors.
Damn look at that girl over there, that must be lorrain.
