Podcasts about Hansberry

On this day in 1959, “A Raisin in the Sun” debuted on Broadway, making history as the first play produced by a Black woman, Lorraine Hansberry. Starring Sidney Poitier and Claudia McNeil, the play was inspired by Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem ('A Dream Deferred')" and depicted a struggling Black family in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood. Originally titled “The Crystal Stair,” it was Hansberry's first play after leaving her writing job. Despite being a debut work, it ran for 530 performances and was widely acclaimed. Hansberry became the first Black playwright and the youngest American to win a New York Critics' Circle Award, cementing her legacy as a groundbreaking voice in American theater.

“A Raisin in the Sun” is a Chicago classic. The play by Lorainne Hansberry tells the story of a Black family looking to move out of a cramped South Side apartment and defy social and political limits to realize their dreams. There would be no “A Raisin in the Sun” without Lorraine's father Carl Hansberry, a real estate broker turned civil rights activist who helped end restrictive covenant laws that prevent certain people from buying and living on a property. Reset learns more about Carl Hansberry with Gabrielle Randle-Bent, dramaturg, University of Chicago professor and associate artistic director at the Court Theatre.

Connacht take on Leinster this Saturday (7th September 2024) in this year's PwC women's under-18 interprovincial final. The Westerners suffered a 46-5 reversal in the final round of group games but previous victories over Ulster and Munster had already secured their spot. Connacht are going for the double after the 7s beat the blue province in the 7s decider back in May. Leading up to the game, Connacht head coach Craig Hansberry has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's William Davies. == Kick-off at Buccaneers Dubarry Park on Saturday is 3.30pm. The 'Over The Line' weekend preview show with Darren Kelly broadcasts every Friday evening from 7pm on Galway Bay FM.

Any threat to the status quo within the American empire has led to the censorship, jailing and escape of the dissidents brave enough to stand against it. One may think of Edward Snowden’s asylum in Russia or Julian Assange’s refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London as recent examples. However, the history of dissidents fleeing American persecution runs deep. Joining host Robert Scheer on this episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast to discuss his new book, “Flights: Radicals on the Run,” is author and journalist Joel Whitney. The book exemplifies this missing history of dissent in America through accounts of people such as Angela Davis, Paul Robeson, Graham Greene and Malcolm X. Also included are the accounts of Lorraine Hansberry and her mentor, W.E.B. Du Bois. Whitney refers to De Bois’ time starting an anti-nuclear peace movement and subsequently being persecuted by the U.S. government. “[Du Bois’] reputation took severe damage, so when Hansberry knew him, he could barely afford to buy groceries,” Whitney told Scheer. “Flights” examines the stories of historic struggle of progressive thinkers and political activists who faced the onslaught of Cold War propaganda and McCarthyism, becoming refugees as a result of their political work. The book chronicles a counter-narrative of American history, where the bravest and most outspoken figures criticizing the system are crushed by it and their lives ruined. The book title, according to Whitney, refers to “flights that are political persecution in some form or another. In a way, you could think of it as 50 or 60 years of counter revolution, massive amounts of funding to chase people … across borders, out of print and, in some cases, unfortunately, into an early grave.” In the case of people like Graham Greene and his famous novel, “The Quiet American,” the blacklisting of himself and others for their exposure of American activities during the Vietnam War led to Americans “hav[ing] to wait about a decade or a little bit more to actually understand what carnage, what incredible, cynical violence the anti-communist Americans are overseeing in Vietnam as they're taking it over from the French.”

Listen as Robin and Lisa discuss "A Raisin in the Sun," written by Lorraine Hansberry, a seminal American play that explores the dreams and struggles of a Black family on the cusp of change. Set in 1950s Chicago, it delves into issues of race, identity, and the pursuit of a better life amid societal challenges. The film stars phenomenal performances from Sidney Poitier and Claudia McNeil. Believe it or not, it was based on Lorraine Hansberry's family experiences and the landmark trial Hansberry v. Lee. https://www.instagram.com/realoldreels/

In 1964, one of Lorraine Hansberry's final plays, "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window," debuted on Broadway, and closed days before Hansberry passed away at the age of 34. Now, the play is being revived at BAM, starring Rachel Brosnahan and Oscar Isaac, who play a married couple in 1960's Greenwich Village with progressive ideals. Brosnahan and director Anne Kauffman join us to discuss their revival of "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window," which runs at BAM Harvey Theater through March 24.

Lorraine Hansberry was one of the most brilliant — and radical —playwrights of the mid-20th century. The author of the wildly popular "A Raisin in the Sun," Hansberry was both the youngest and the first Black winner of the prestigious Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play in 1959. She's the subject of the acclaimed biography Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry by Princeton scholar Imani Perry. This conversation originally aired on May 12, 2019.

Imani Perry introduces us to A Raisin in the Sun, the first show ever staged on Broadway written by a black woman – and the show's legendary playwright, Lorraine Hansberry. In Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry, author Imani Perry pays tribute to one of the most pivotal Black playwrights in modern history. In Perry's 2018 biography of Lorraine Hansberry, we meet a talented writer whose mainstream success with A Raisin In The Sun often overshadows her strategic and radical work as an artist and progressive thinker. That renowned play has returned to The Public Theater and Imani Perry joins host Kai Wright to explore how Hansberry and the story of the Younger family shaped the landscape of theater. Companion listening for this episode: Lynn Nottage: Unexpected Optimist (1/3/2022) Playwright Lynn Nottage breaks down her remarkable career and shares how, as an optimist at heart, she finds the light and resilience in unexpected stories. “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET. The podcast episodes are lightly edited from our live broadcasts.

In this conversation Charisse Burden-Stelly returns to the podcast, and is joined by Jodi Dean to talk about their new book Organize, Fight, Win: Black Communist Women's Political Writing.  Charisse Burden-Stelly is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University. Along with Gerald Horne she co-authored W.E.B. Du Bois: A Life In American History. She is a co-editor of the book Reproducing Domination On the Caribbean and the Postcolonial State. She is also the author of the forthcoming book Black Scare / Red Scare. She is a member of Black Alliance for Peace and was previously the co-host of The Last Dope Intellectual podcast. Jodi Dean teaches political, feminist, and media theory in Geneva, New York. She has written or edited thirteen books, including The Communist Horizon, Crowds and Party, and Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging. She is also a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The first collection of its kind, Organize, Fight, Win brings together three decades of Black Communist women's political writings. In doing so, it highlights the link between Communism and Black liberation. Likewise, it makes clear how Black women fundamentally shaped, and were shaped by, Communist praxis in the twentieth century. Organize, Fight, Win includes writings from card-carrying Communists like Dorothy Burnham, Williana Burroughs, Grace P. Campbell, Alice Childress, Marvel Cooke, Esther Cooper Jackson, Thelma Dale Perkins, Vicki Garvin, Yvonne Gregory, Claudia Jones, Maude White Katz, and Louise Thompson Patterson, and writings by those who organized alongside the Communist Party, like Ella Baker, Charlotta Bass, Thyra Edwards, Lorraine Hansberry, and Dorothy Hunton. Dr. CBS and Dr. Dean introduce the text further in the discussion, and read some excerpts from it along the way as well. In conversation we talk about a number of the interventions made by Black Communist Women that are collected in Organize, Fight, Win. We also talk about how many of these women have often been written about, frequently to further intellectual frameworks that are not the Black Communist analysis and modes of organizing that they themselves espoused. We discuss the interventions these women made in relation to unionization efforts, anti-imperialism, anti-fascism, and the struggle for peace. We also discuss the difference between common manifestations of identitarian politics  today and the materialist analysis these Black Communist Women deployed.  We also talk about the internal critiques that they leveed against certain positions of the CPUSA, not in attempts to destroy the party, but in dedication to its mission. Organize, Fight, Win is available for pre-order from Verso Books and it will come out on this coming Tuesday. Black Alliance for Peace has a webinar kicking off the International Month of Action Against AFRICOM on Saturday October 1st. We'll include links to those as well as to pre-orders for Socialist Reconstruction: A Better Future all of which are named in the episode. We'll also include links to some previous discussions that relate to topics covered here. And as always if you like what we do, please support our work on patreon.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. Lorraine Hansberry In this bonus episode of HTTPS://CHANGE-THE-STORY-CHAN.CAPTIVATE.FM/LISTEN (Change the Story, Change the World), we're going to share an audio portrait of a project currently taking place at the subject of our past https://change-the-story-chan.captivate.fm/episode/episode-55-pillsbury-house-theater (2 episodes, Pillsbury House & Theater). The project is called https://pillsburyhouseandtheatre.org/lhi_homepage/ (To Sit a While) and celebrates the work and life of playwright, journalist, and activist https://lorrainehansberryinitiative.org/ (Lorraine Hansberry), who also happens to be the subject to the song we just heard that was written and sung by a young Twin Cities audacious artist named Frida Ross. Lorraine Hansberry was born in Chicago in 1930 and passed tragically in 1960. Despite her short stay on this planet, she lived large, large, artistically, large politically, and very large historically. Her play, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Raisin_in_the_Sun (A Raisin in the Sun )was the first by a black woman to be produced on Broadway. More importantly, though it laid bare the systemic racism that was being visited on black families and communities in the plain-sight recesses of the American dream scape. Needless to say, this is a difficult story to tell anywhere, anytime in this country, let alone on Broadway in 1959. Now, that was 63 years ago, but thankfully the curtain on Hansberry's influence in the theater as a journalist and as an advocate for the Black and LGBTQ communities has never been drawn. Her legacy endures through her writing and her plays certainly, but also through the story of her life. An inspiring life story that, in 2022 is being shared in communities across the country through the https://lorrainehansberryinitiative.org/ (Lorraine Hansberry Initiative). This multi-year project is using public, art and artist scholarships to quote, honor this great American playwright and civil rights leader and invest in those following in her footsteps. The initiative is produced by https://the-lillys.org/ (The Lilly's), An organization dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and advocating women theater artists

With a background in finance and a history of great communication and a passion for problem-solving, Ed Hansberry, an Assistant Director with P3 Adaptive, embodies the spirit of P3 Adaptive. Ed was recently awarded his 13th Microsoft MVP Award so of course, we wanted to know more about his achievement, his passions, his adaptability, and most of all, his insights on change so we invited him to join us today for a chat. Early on, in the conversation, Rob and Ed delve into defining change and that led to a lively discussion on the process of change, the successful process of change, and the difference between them. Here's a hint, it's always the people! Knowing that people drive success, Ed extensively volunteers his time in the Microsoft Power BI User Community supporting users around the world with problems and questions around Power BI and, since he has been recognized as a Super User by Microsoft, we really can say that helping people is his superpower. He is leading change one question at a time. This episode isn't just about change, though, the evolution of technology and software is embedded throughout the conversation from cube functions to the hidden power of the innocuously named OLAP dropdown in Excel. And finally, we get some great insight on formerly cutting-edge technology that has since gone obsolete. We hear a firsthand account of the tragic end of the Microsoft phone.  You never know what you will learn when the conversation starts to flow.

SEEN (by one of us): May 18, 2022   A Raisin in the Sun by LORRAINE HANSBERRY directed by AUSTENE VAN McGuire Proscenium Stage   “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?” In 1951, poet Langston Hughes posed these questions, and Lorraine Hansberry answered with a theatrical masterpiece that broke down racial barriers both on and off the stage. The play follows the three-generation Younger family as they grapple with different definitions of the American dream and how to achieve it. When the matriarch, Lena, buys a home in an all-white neighborhood, the Youngers are greeted by thinly veiled racism and financial pitfalls that threaten to pull the family apart and push their dreams out of reach. Three things to know Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's own family's experience in Chicago in the 1930s, A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959 and, for the first time, hailed an all-Black principal cast, a Black playwright and a Black director. The play was nominated for four Tony Awards, and Hansberry was the first Black woman to be produced on Broadway.

This week’s episode is a special one. Our friend, Dr. Annika Prather, came on to chat about Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun. Dr. Prather loves this play and is very knowledgeable about literature and so she seemed like the perfect fit to join Tim, our drama guy, for this conversation. So tune in as Tim and Dr. Prather discuss whether Walter Jr. is a hero or a villain; whether this a play about money, family, or dignity; and whether Hansberry identified especially strongly with any particular character.Thanks for listening!

It's March 10th. This day in 1959, “A Raisin In The Sun” debuted on Broadway. It was the first Broadway show written by an African-American woman, and marked the arrival of Loraine Hansberry as a major creative force. Jody, NIki, and Kellie talk about the play's critique of the mid-century American dream, Hansberry's creative peers, and the legacy she left despite her short life. Sign up for our newsletter!

Lorraine Hansberry ( May 19, 1930- January 13, 1965) earned a special place in history as the first African-American woman to have a play produced on Broadway. As the daughter of Charles Hansberry, AKA the “kitchenette king”, Hansberry grew up on Chicago's South Side in an affluent family. Despite her family's wealth, she experienced racism. Hansberry's father bought a house in a racially mixed neighborhood when she was eight years old, which prompted vicious attacks from their white neighbors. These attacks had a lasting impact on Hansberry, and she would later capture the essence of her family's experience in her very successful play, A Raisin in the Sun. Theatergoers enjoyed the universal appeal of Hansberry's plays, though she also seamlessly forged a connection between her art and hot-button issues which personally affected her—like racial equity, women's rights, and the gay rights movement—that may have otherwise alienated mainstream audiences. Her skillful approach to making controversial topics accessible to the general public wasn't limited to the stage. As she rose to fame, she became a regular guest at televised debates and town halls, sharing her ideas with the influencers of the 1960s. She notably participated in a meeting with Robert F. Kennedy, who served as Attorney General at the time, along with James Baldwin and other Black cultural leaders to discuss race relations in the United States. Widely recognized as a brilliant writer and thinker, Hansberry's promising career was cut short by a quick and brutal battle with pancreatic cancer at 34. She died on the closing night of The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, the second of her plays to be performed in her lifetime. Her body of work may be sparse, but her words continue to inspire readers generations after her death. Notable works: A Raisin in the Sun, The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, Les Blancs (published posthumously) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/katherine-hutchinson-hayes/support

Just a minimal understanding of how white mobs have operated in the face of Black progress or advancement could have laid a foundation so that no one would have been surprised by the insurrectionist behavior of the white mob at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Listen in on a brief presentation about the ways just a few of the many, many, MANY white mobs have behaved in America. From 1866, just after the Civil War, to the 1898 Wilmington, NC coup d'etat, to a brief examination of attempts to integrate public schools, and communities in Chicago, this podcast conveys the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mob action that has been deployed to terrorize Black people/communities in this country. Suggested for further edification: Family Properties: How the Struggle Over Race and Real Estate Transformed Chicago and Urban America by Beryl Satters Satters is a professor of history at Rutgers and the daughter of a Chicago civil rights attorney who grew up in Chicago, Evanston, and Skokie. Her book examines the racially discriminatory, legally sanctioned policies in the housing sector that led to Chicago becoming a model of racial segregation and racial inequality that continues to this day. Making the Second Ghetto: Race & Housing in Chicago, 1940-1960 by Arnold Hirsch. This book, rich in details and research, helps one understand the horrific, extraordinarily overpriced conditions Black people were forced to live in as the “Black Belt” section of Chicago, where most Blacks were contained, became more and more dangerously overcrowded. The book delivers deeply documented details about white mobs, violence, and policies that worked to restrict Black movement in Chicago. The Autobiography of Black Chicago by Dempsey Travis. Travis, a WWII veteran, realtor, activist, and Chicagoan presents an excellent mix of autobiography of himself and the Black community in the city. At the end of the book, he publishes a number of interviews of people who were high profile movers and shakers advocating for the Black community in different spheres of life in Chicago. The Case for Reparations by Ta Nehisi Coates. This seminal article makes a case for reparations to Black people by excavating some of the horrific inequities in the housing market in Chicago, as well as the inequities in federal housing policies that deeply injured Black people—financially, as well as socially, culturally, and politically—while reporting on some of the ways in which Black Chicagoans fought for homeownership at a time when getting a mortgage was out of the question for most, regardless of income. This was at a time when land installment contracts, on a take it or leave it basis, (adhesion contracts) were used as a mechanism for thwarting so many Black people's dreams of purchasing a home—while making many white “sellers,” who preyed on Black people‘s desire for home ownership, extremely wealthy. A Raisin in the Sun, the 1959 award-winning play by Lorraine Hansberry. The play, which won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, was inspired by Hansberry's family's fight to leave the dangerously overcrowded “Black Belt” to move into a spacious home in the previously all white Woodlawn section of the city near the University of Chicago. The next day after the Hansberry's moved in, the white female neighbor next door filed suit (Lee v. Hansberry, 1940) alleging that they could not occupy the home because of the racially restrictive covenant in the deed preventing Blacks from purchasing the home. (Racially restrictive covenants in deeds were prevalent in Chicago.) Hansberry was 28-years-old when she won the Critics' Award. She died at 34. **********Visit our website at www.survivinghealingandevolving.com.
