Abstract
Toward the end of the 1950s, mass media coupled with an ascendant discussion of racial democracy to create a prominent place for race talk in the mainstream. Lorraine Hansberry, previously under the tutelage of the Black Left, used her opportunity in the spotlight to denounce racial and gender discrimination and advance hard-hitting analyses of US domestic and foreign policy. Her expansive political vision—linking race and class struggle with the histories of women, Black Americans and colonial peoples abroad—not only marks her as a critical bridge between the civil rights and Black Power eras but also underscores her role as a crucial progenitor of the Black Arts and Feminist movements.
