Answer:

The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes inspired the title for A Raisin in the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lorraine Hansberry wrote the play A Raisin in the Sun about a struggling black family in Chicago. The title of the play comes from a line in Langston Hughes poem "Harlem." It reads, " “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" Both works talked about the psychological and emotional trauma caused by racism.
