Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry

Looking for Lorraine is a groundbreaking biography of the extraordinary life of Lorraine Hansberry, the gifted and charismatic Black artist and intellectual who was tragically cut short at the age of 34.

This book reveals the untold story of Hansberry's remarkable achievements, her commitment to social justice, and her identity as a lesbian. With a foreword by Toni Morrison and praise from authors such as James Baldwin and Nina Simone, this biography is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Civil Rights Movement, LGBTQ+ rights, or the lives of remarkable women. Hansberry's story has been diminished and relegated to one work - until now.

This book provides a multi-dimensional insight into her extraordinary life, including her challenges to President Kennedy and his brother on Civil Rights, her support for African anti-colonial leaders, and her confrontation of the romantic racism of the Beat poets and Village hipsters. Don't miss out on this powerful and revealing portrait of an unsung heroine who changed history.
