Raisin in the Sun This is going to show how people and organizations for civil rights in the 60s were related to the book the Raisin in the Sun. By Dionia Henderson

W.E.B. Dubois  Wasn’t shy of criticizing America’s practices  Established Pan-Africanism  Believed that there are common bonds which can unite different races  Supported communism  Believed that blacks should have a higher education and political jobs  W.E.B. Dubois is like Asagai- against conformity

Booker T. Washington  Made the Tuskegee Institute which was a school  Believed that blacks should focus more on improving themselves through industrial education  Believed this was more important than social equality  Was more for education rather than being socially and politically equal  Booker T. Washington is like George- conformity

NAACP  Benjamin Hooks was the executive director  Focused on providing legal aid, organizing meetings, and investigating injustices  Published its own magazine The Crisis - it would serve as a publicity vehicle Made up of white and African American people Tried to help African Americans with the racists action from the Ku Klux Klan “Even the N double A C P takes a holiday sometimes (Hansberry 113)”

My Cultural Background  Black  Native American  It doesn’t factor my view on my personal identity - it’s not who I am - It’s a background of myself  Christian- Christmas and Easter Play says that you should embrace yourself

My Dreams  To have my own bakery  To go to college- Rutgers or Penn State  To be involved with sports medicine as a career Play about Dreams Dreams can be easily broken Its always better to have a back up dream

What I took away During this time there was a lot of pain -Blacks had hard trials -They never gave up -Tried to keep moving along even with obstacles Raisin in the Sun -Its nice to have dreams but be responsible -Money is not everything -Family will always have your back -Try to do the right thing -Even if it’s hard to do
