A Raisin in the Sun

“Ooh. Raisin in the Sun., man. One of my really, really good friends, Imani Perry, wrote a book called Looking for Lorraine about Lorraine Hansberry, and so in talking about her book with her and, you know, after having read it, I went back and rewatched this movie a number of times, and it’s so, it’s so powerful. I mean, as a play, as a film. Lorraine, as a writer, as a thinker. And, of course, the great Sidney Poitier. This is the play... One of the plays that inspired me to be an actor.”
