Raisin in the Sun

The book Raisin in the Sun is about a poor black family that gets a big insurance check. However they loose most of the money in a big get rich quick scheme. In the end they ended up buying a house in a white dominate neighborhood.

This book was based on the authors life as a child. She talks about how when she walked to school people would yell at her, spit at her, and throw rocks at her. It was hard to live in a white racist community however it is more inspiring to see her fight through it and see her people very successful.
