To Be Young, Gifted and Black, An Informal Autobiography of Lorraine Hansberry is the story of her life. She was the author of "A Raisin in the Sun." A summary on the back of the book states: " In turns angry, loving, bitter, laughing, and defiantly proud, the story, voice, and message are all Lorraine Hansberry's own. They come together in one of the major works of the black psyche and the black experience in mid-century America." She grew up in Chicago. The book includes excerpts from some of her writings as well as some of her illustrations.
