I loved this— there were some minor things that didn’t land for me but this is certainly one of the greatest classics I’ve read and my rating will probably improve with time

God I loved this play. I loved the way Hansberry showed the different aspects of being black in America, and how a lot of these characteristics are still present today. I hated Walter Lee so much and I think that was so important. God I love this book so much
