Description
x"Lorraine Hansberry has had a direct influence on who we are, the stories we tell, and how we move in the world today. We are beyond delighted to share Jay's beautiful words and Loveis's stunning work, bringing this iconic visionary to life for the next generation of dreamers." --Lena Waithe, Rishi Rajani, and Naomi Funabashi, Hillman Grad Books
Our stories can change the world. As a young girl, playwright Lorraine Hansberry walked everywhere with a notebook, eager to capture the sights, sounds, and stories of the people around her. First Lorraine watched her parents' triumph in the Supreme Court case of Hansberry v. Lee. Then she discovered the magic of theater. Next, she unlocked the power of her voice, crafting A Raisin in the Sun. Her play went on to influence generations of artists and the world was never the same. Lyrical, vibrant, and empowering, What I Must Tell the World is a celebration of Lorraine Hansberry's life and legacy, and a love letter to the power of theater and storytelling.Author: Jay Leslie
