Lorraine Hansberry was the first black playwright to create realistic portraits of African American life. Her play, A Raisin in the Sun, about a struggling black family, was a landmark work and helped bring attention to the civil rights movement. Bruce Norris' play Clybourne Park is a spin-off of A Raisin in the Sun, set in the same house but 50 years later to examine changing race relations and gentrification in Chicago neighborhoods. A key difference between plays and other literary forms is that plays are written to be performed on stage through dialogue between characters, while other forms are generally meant to be read.

Hip hop is a genre of music characterized by rapping over rhythmic beats. It is more than just music, as it encompasses visual elements like fashion, style, and music videos.

Some argue that gangsta rap perpetuates false and racist stereotypes that African American culture is defined by violence, hypersexuality, and materialism.

The document summarizes why The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is considered one of the greatest American novels despite receiving criticism and bans since its publication in 1885. Through Huck Finn's journey down the Mississippi River with the runaway slave Jim, Twain was able to condemn many social issues of the pre-Civil War American South such as racism and slavery. The novel provided a realistic portrayal of life along the Mississippi River through its use of vernacular language and regional dialects. It also examined themes of racism and how Huck comes to see Jim as a fellow human despite being raised in a racist society, which was groundbreaking for its time.
