What is one reason the drama A Raisin in the Sun is so significant?

It sparks debate over issues that we deal with still like race and gender. Also it was the first play with a nearly all-black cast to make it on Broadway.

A Raisin in the Sun can be considered a turning point in American art because it addresses so many issues important during the 1950s in the United States.
