The Play A Raisin in the Sun by the American negro playwright Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965) is a play of precision, rhythmic humor, aesthetics of movement, regardless of the quality of acting that is a feature of professional English theatre, and its most prominent institutions, the National Theatre. The play prompts its readers with the richness of the text and its amazing classicism to look for its writer. After extensive research and reading about Hansberry and the play’s first text, which ably put her name on the American drama and stage as one of the pioneers of the black writers. This paper is intended to examine the problems faced by the Afro-American family. Social and economic troubles are also highlighted. Racism against black is one of the critical issues in the research. The paper sheds light on the generational differences. It is a rediscovery of the play and its rich high sub-tributaries, which are better able to touch many of the issues we're experiencing in our world. The family relations and ties of unity in the light of Traditions and modernity are a place of discussion in this research.
