A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

This play depicts the decision of an African American family to move into a house in a white neighborhood. It does a really lovely job depicting the family's conflicting dreams--Lena (the matriarch) wants to buy the house (and fulfill plans she had made with her now-dead husband when they were first married), while her daughter Beneatha wants to become a doctor and her son Walter wants to buy into a liquor store. Walter and his wife Ruth in particular have interesting developments as each feels stifled (and a loss of autonomy) in their marriage.
