A Raisin in the Sun Public Programs: Agora
Don’t miss the newest installment of the Agora Series – A Dream Deferred: Black Mobility and Housing – one of the public programs complementing Court Theatre’s production of A Raisin in the Sun.
Join Court Theatre and the National Public Housing Museum for an evening of art, exploration, and conversation about the history of housing injustice. In a conversation moderated by the Museum’s Executive Director Lisa Lee, housing advocates and experts – as well as scholars from the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice – will interrogate the well-intentioned narrative that homeownership is the answer to combating systems of oppression that hinder Black mobility and generational wealth.
