Many Raisins in the Sun
Originally a Broadway play in the late 1950s, the story was soon turned into a screenplay by Hansberry and a black and white film version was released in 1961 starring Ruby Dee and Sidney Poitier. The film garnered critics awards and Poitier was nominated for a Golden Globe. In 1973 a musical version of the play was created by Lansberry's husband Robert Nemiroff called Raisin, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1974. Over ten years later the first television movie version would be made starring Danny Glover and Esther Rolle. -
