What inspired lorraine hansberry to write?

Answer 1

Lorraine Hansberry was an African-American author, activist and playwright. She is particularly famous because she was the first black woman who authored a play that was performed on Broadway. When she was young, her house received the visit of prominent black intellectuals, as Paul Robeson and W.E.B. Du Bois, something that for sure inspired her for her future work. When she was 20 years old, and after studying at the University of Wisconsinâ??Madison and Mexico, she moved to New York City to pursue a writer career, she wrote about feminist and racial issues.
