	SparkNotes: A Raisin in the Sun: Context
		A Raisin in the Sun can be considered a turning point in American art because it addresses so many issues important during the 1950s in the United States.
		A Raisin in the Sun remains important as a cultural document of a crucial period in American history as well as for the continued debate over racial and gender issues that it has helped spark.
		Lorraine Hansberry took the title of A Raisin in the Sun from a line in Langston Hughes’s famous 1951 poem “Harlem.” Hughes was a prominent fl poet during the 1920s Harlem Renaissance in New York City, during which fl artists of all kinds—musicians, poets, writers—gave innovative voices to their personal and cultural experiences.

	A Raisin In The Sun
		Raisin In The Sun is a groundbreaking drama celebrating the human spirit, featuring an electrifying performance by Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier (Best Actor, Lilies of the Field, 1963).
		A Raisin In the Sun appears in both its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on this double-sided, single-layered DVD; the letterboxed image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		While A Raisin In the Sun certainly seems to be a very competent piece of work and offers a fairly deft and still-valid portrayal of a working class fl family, I can't call it a good film because its theatrical roots still show so prominently.
