The title A Raisin in the Sun gets its name from a line in the Langston Hughes poem:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Listen to Danny Glover reading Langston Hughes “Montage of a Dream Deferred.”
