In the years since her death, her stature has continued to grow. To Be Young, Gifted and Black, a dramatic portrait of the playwright in her own words, was the longest-running Off-Broadway drama of 1969, and has been recorded, filmed, and published in expanded book form, and has toured an unprecedented forty states and two hundred colleges. In 1986, following the stage production of the 25th anniversary of A Raisin in the Sun by the Roundabout Theatre in New York City, the play was widely acclaimed as in the foremost ranks of American classics. In 1990, the PBS American Playhouse TV adaptation of the 25th-anniversary version had one of the highest viewing audiences in PBS history. Les Blancs, her last play--posthumously performed on Broadway and recently in prominent regional theaters--has been hailed by a number of critics as her best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass Market Paperback: 151 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Vintage; Reprint, Reissue edition (November 29, 2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-10: 0679755330\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-13: 9780679755333\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code: 55101500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions: 4.2 x 0.5 x 6.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 2.4 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lorraine Hansberry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43002751844587,"sku":"9780679755333","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/4014\/9820\/products\/arasininthesun.jpg?v=1595715424"},{"product_id":"zami-audre-lorde","title":"Zami: A New Spelling of My Name \/\/ A Biomythography","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZAMI is a fast-moving chronicle.
