For one thing, in 1959 she became the first black woman to have a play produced on Broadway. This play was entitled "A Raisin in the Sun", thetitle is from a poem written by Langston Hughes: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? " . The play was basically about a black woman who uses her late husband's life insurance to build a better world for her children and it brought to light the serious problems that a typical black family had to face in America during the 1950's. - Chante`
