When the Hansberry family initially moved into a white neighborhood in 1938. It was in Woodlawn next to the University of Chicago. They used the insurance money to move. They moved from their home in a black area to a white one.
During their stay at their new home Lorrainse's family was being threatened by a white mob. The reason why is because they were black. One of them threw a brick on Lorraine's window which almost reached her but didn't.  They also got lots of people outside not giving them a chance for them to live and making them go out of their neighborhood.
After the white people made issues with them and did not treat them right. The court has joined too and see what the problem is. They soon noticed that the white people don't want the blacks living with them in their neighborhood. Sooner then the Supreme Court of Illinois forced them to go out.
After years Lorraine studied painting in Chicago and Mexico. Then she moved to New York to begin her career as a writer. Which was a unique and special thing for her and the people with her. She became the first African American writer. She created a playwright called A Raisen in a Sun in 1959 and it was the first drama by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway.
