Lorraine Hansberry used Langston Hughes' poem Montage of a Dream Deferred as a preface of her 1959 play about a family's struggle to escape from the Chicago ghetto. Mama finds a nice, clean, well-built house in a white neighborhood and uses her deceased husband's insurance money to make a down payment. Is this their dream come true? Was this the dream deferred all these years? Each family member seems to have a different dream, but each yearns to satisfy a longing of the human spirit that dwells within. We believe this play expresses a vital and timeless message for all people to hear and feel.
