A Raisin in the Sun derives its name from a poem by
Select one:
O a Frederick Douglass
O b. Langston Hughes
- c. James Weldon Johhnson
O d. None of the above
"The title of A Raisin in the Sun is an allusion to Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem." In the poem, the speaker is asking what happens to a dream that is not realized. One of the images Hughes uses to convey the effects of this experience is that of a raisin drying and shriveling up in the sun."
