24/25 Book Club: 
A Raisin in the Sun 
by Lorraine Hansberry

This month, as part of our Book Sanctuary commitment to educating about banned and challenged stories, we're partnering with Tredyffrin Public Library to read and host a community book chat about A Raisin in the Sun! Lorraine Hansberry's work is as impactful on the page as it is on the stage, and we'll dig into the literary genius and thematic layers of this play on Sunday, March 23rd, here at People's Light before the 2pm performance of the play.
RSVP required for the discussion, limited spaces available. Registered People's Light Reads participants will get a ticket discount to stay for the 3/23 2pm RAISIN performance.

Check out the book from your local library, and RSVP for the book chat here: https://ccls.libcal.com/event/14205632

According to the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, 4,240 unique book titles were targeted for censorship in 2023, a 92% increase from 2022. Novels from influential authors such as Toni Morrison, Harper Lee, and Mark Twain are being challenged, pulled from shelves, and removed from curriculum, across the country. Stories like A Raisin in the Sun that feature diverse narratives and characters are facing particular pushback. To protect endangered stories and raise awareness about book banning, People’s Light is proud to be a Book Sanctuary! Book Sanctuaries are organizations or individuals committed to educating their communities about the history of book banning, as well as collecting and protecting endangered books. To learn more about Book Sanctuaries, visit booksanctuary.org.
