One connection between the painting, “New Kids in the Neighborhood” and A Raisin in the Sun is that it shows the racial gap that exists in society. According to the painting, the colored children and white children stand apart from each other due to the wariness they have of the new presence of black people in the predominantly white society. This can be compared to the play because it states, “Course I thinks it’s wonderful how our folks keeps on pushing out. You hear some of these Negroes ‘round here talking ‘bout how they don’t go where they ain’t wanted and all that---”. This piece of evidence shows how black people in the society are wary about entering predominantly white communities.

One connection between “New Kids in the Neighborhood,” and a theme/motif in A Raisin in the Sun is that there is a sense of prejudice and generational stereotyping. In the painting they can be perceived as outcast, which can cause stereotyping and prejudice to occur. In “A Raisin In The Sun”, it says “I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn’t enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities.” (Pg. 118). It also says,“You mean you ain’t read ’bout them colored people that was bombed out their place out there? [...] Why if we left it up to these here crackers, the poor n*****s wouldn’t have nothing” (Hansberry 101-102) This can be proved to convey the idea that as a result of them being the odd men out, stereotyping grows into hatred, and all the discrimination they have to face in white neighborhoods starts to outweigh the perks of living there.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 2: Vinceng, Felix, Alice, Pingping, Trong- The painting of "The New Kids in the Neighborhood" relates to a theme/motif in A Raisin in the Sun because they both can be related to the theme race. This is because they both have an connection when it comes to the Young family, people of color, moving into a white neighborhood just like the image is depicting. In the story, they stated " RUTH Clybourne Park? Mama, there ain’t no colored people living in Clybourne Park.  MAMA (Almost idiotically) Well, I guess there’s going to be some now. " This goes to show how they both relate since they both depict people of color moving into a white neighborhood. The theme race is involved since it shows the difference between the two races and how there might be problems arising due to their differences and lifestyle.

A connection i can make from Jacob Lawrence's painting They were poor to ARITS is, like the title of the painting, they were poor. The need for money became a big benefactor to many of the conflicts in the play.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection I can make from Jacob Lawrence's painting title “In every southern home people met to decide whether or not to go north.” to ARITS is like the people in the painting, the youngers also live in a small and cramped apartment with little to nothing. There is also a small plant in the corner just like ARITS and the family is also making a decision to move.

Group 6: (Jenny, YuChuan, Benny, Leslie) In panel 15  by Jacob Lawrence, he uses space to reveal how sad and devastating all of this is. In the piece all there is is a branch with a rope on it and what seems like a person sitting on a rock crying. The space shows how lonely and heartbreaking it is to lose someone who has done no wrong. Many people lost loved ones simply because of the color of their skin.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 3: A connection I can make from Jacob Lawrence's painting titled "The Migration Spread" to ARITS is like in scene II of ARITS when Mama Lena tells Walter and Beneatha that she is going to use the insurance money to buy a house. Lawrence's painting depicts better opportunities and a new start for the people migrating. Mama Lena buying the house can be see as a new start for the Younger family, it allows them to be able to do more with their lives and have better opportunities.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun...
Or does it explode? - Langston Hughes

Lorraine Vivian Hansberry was born in Chicago on May 19, 1930, the youngest of four children born to Carl Augustus Hansberry, a prominent real estate broker, and his wife, Nannie Louise Hansberry, a schoolteacher and ward committeewoman. Lorraine's uncle, William Leo Hansberry, taught African history at Howard University. On May 26, 1937, Carl Hansberry moved the family to Woodlawn (map), an all-white neighborhood near the University of Chicago. The Hansberry family home (6140 S. Rhodes Ave.) was declared an historic landmark by the Chicago City Council on February 10, 2010.

Anna M. Lee and others brought an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County to enforce a restrictive covenant, and enjoin the Hansberrys from occupying their home. Under the "restrictive agreement", about 500 Chicago property owners agreed that no part of the real estate should be "sold, leased to, or permitted to be occupied by any person of the colored race". The restrictive covenant covered blocks between 60th and 63d streets, and between Cottage Grove and South Park avenues [now Martin Luther King Drive] in Chicago. The trial court held that Burke v. Kleiman (1934), in which the parties stipulated to the validity of the covenant, bound Mr. Hansberry even though he was not a party to that litigation. In Lee v. Hansberry (1939), the Supreme Court of Illinois affirmed the trial court's judgment.

Ms. Hansberry's father and mother, represented by Earl B. Dickerson, J.D. `20 and several other members of an NAACP litigation team, appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. In Hansberry v. Lee, 311 U.S. 32 (1940), Justice Stone, writing for the majority, reversed the Illinois Supreme Court decision on the basis that neither party to the Burke litigation represented Mr. Hansberry's interests. Works on class action and civil procedure often cite the Hansberry case for the fundamental due process principle that "a ruling cannot bind absent class members if the representatives are inadequate." (Klonoff, at 57). Despite the Supreme Court victory, Lorraine Hansberry believed her father never recovered from his struggle against racial segregation. Mr. Hansberry passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage on March 7, 1946, at the age of 50, while visiting Mexico. He'd planned to move the family there.

Lorraine Hansberry attended kindergarten on Chicago's South Side. "The kids beat me up; and I think it was from that moment I became a rebel." When Lorraine was 8, a "howling" mob attacked her family's home. A brick hurled through the window narrowly missed Lorraine's head. As a child, Lorraine met Paul Robeson, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, and other civil rights activists who frequently visited her family. Lorraine went to Betsy Ross Elementary School and graduated from Englewood High School in 1948. Lorraine was politically active and worked for social justice throughout her brief adult life. She was an associate editor for Paul Robeson's progressive Freedom newspaper. She participated in the civil rights movement in the South as a field organizer for CORE (the Congress of Racial Equality). She supported the fledgling American lesbian liberation movement. Lorraine Hansberry died of pancreatic cancer on January 12, 1965 at the age of 34. But Ms. Hansberry's story is not over. It continues in her writings:

One symbol in the play is Beneatha hair cut. this symbol represent a very powerful statement, as she symbolically states that natural is beautiful. Beneathas new hair cut is a symbol of her beliefs and her desire to shape her identity. this symbol correlates with the theme of all the high expectations from her mama and George she is a very independent person who wants to focus on herself and her priorities. n the play, it says, “You’re a nice-looking girl ... all over. That’s all you need, honey, forget the atmosphere. Guys aren’t going to go for the atmosphere—they’re going to go for what they see. Be glad for that. Drop the Garbo routine. It doesn’t go with you. As for myself, I want a nice—(Groping)—simple (Thoughtfully)— sophisticated girl ... not a poet—O.K.? (He starts to kiss her, she rebuffs him again and he jumps up)” This reveals that the men Beneatha is with are not supportive of what she wants to do and how George just wants to use her. However, Beneatha is not that kind of person and knows she has way more potential.

Mama’s Check (Money)

Evidence: “Now ain’t that fine! You just got your mother’s interest at heart, ain’t you, girl? You such a nice girl—but if Mama got that money she can always take a few thousand and help you through school too—can’t she?” pg 40

Explanation: The money symbolizes Mama sees this payment as a way to fulfill her dream of owning a house. This further symbolizes her longing for “freedom” after constant oppression. Beneatha dreams of money as a way to fund her medical schooling, which fuels her desire to conquer racism and sexism.

"MAMA My children and they tempers. Lord, if this little old

The Insurance Check: Page 40, "WALTER: The check is coming tomorrow. BENETHEA: That money belongs to Mama, Walter, and and it's for her to decide how she wants to use it. I don't care if she wants to buy a house or a rocket ship or just nail it up somewhere it's hers." The insurance check that Mama Lena gets represents the possibility of financial freedom for the Younger family, but there is also a struggle between the family about what to do with the check. Each of the members of the Younger family has a chance to do what they want with the money but its ultimately up to Mama Lena, this might put a strain on the family dynamic based on Walter's wants to buy a liquor store to help his family financially.

# data[].attributes.body
This new house represents the new beginnings for the Younger family. They are struggling financially, and Mama decided to use her insurance check in order to get them out of their old and worn down apartment. According to the text, "Son- i just tried to find the nicest place for the least amount of money for my family... I-- I jsut seen my family falling apart today. Just falling into pieces in front of my eyes. We couldn't of gone on like we was today. We was going backwards 'stead of forwards." (page 96). Mama only wants the best for her family, and this new house provides a new beginning for them.

Group 2: Vinceng, Felix, Pingping, Cindy,  Trong- Beneatha's Hair; "You wear it well... very well... mutilated hair and all...
