Answer:
Mama told Travis that she had bought him a house with the insurance money that they acquired from the deceased Mr. Younger's insurance policy.
Explanation:
"A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry revolves around the lives of a black family living under one roof, surviving however they can. The Youngers were an African- American family living in the South side of Chicago during the 1950s.
The family had just acquired an insurance amount of $10,000 from the death of their father Mr. Younger. The matriarch of the family, Mama Younger had decided and bought a house in Clybourne Park, a white residential area. This pleased Ruth, her daughter-in-law who was pregnant and was worried about putting more financial pressure on the family but not Walter Lee, her son. Walter thinks that his mother had wasted the money on something that they don't need and that she was ruining his life plan of opening a liquor store. The answer to the question of what Mama told Travis, her grandson, was that she had purchased and put a down payment on a house in the white residential area of Clybourne Park.
