The UIC Library invites you to a screening of Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes | Feeling Heart, in commemoration of Women's History Month.The documentary sheds valuable light on all aspects of Lorraine Hansberry's play, A Raisin in the Sun, including the daunting challenge of securing investment and a venue for this production about a working class Black family, the casting process, artistic debates and finally its public reception. Additionally, the film reveals how central feminism was to her ideas and boldly acknowledges (using her diary entries) her same gender relationships and private lesbian identity before the appearance of the gay rights movement.
Refreshments will be provided.
