SUMMARY:LGBT  History Display: Lorraine Hansberry 
DESCRIPTION:To mark LGBT  History Month\, the Library are presenting a 
 display about the life of Lorraine Hansberry\, a playwright and writer who 
 was heavily involved in the US Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. She was 
 the first African American female author to have a play performed on 
 Broadway. Her life was cut short aged 34 from cancer\, but she left a 
 legacy of change and her works are still performed today. \n\nShe lived in 
 an age when it was dangerous to declare homosexuality and never publicly 
 acknowledged that she was a lesbian during her lifetime. Her contribution 
 to the LBGT  movement was only acknowledged when her archive held by the 
 New York Public Library was fully opened in 2013. \n\nThe exhibition 
 features materials relating to the UK production of her play\, Raisin in 
 the Sun from the Jack Hylton Collection from our Special Collections and 
 \nArchives\, as well as other materials from our Library resources. \n
LOCATION:Special Collections Exhibitions area (next to SafePod)
