あらすじ・解説
Before Wakanda Forever entered the mainstream to represent longevity, respect, and identity - especially for those across the African diaspora - there was "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black." Playwright and activist Lorraine Hansberry, author of the landmark play A Raisin in the Sun, first coined the phrase fifty-eight years ago. Even though their lives never intersected, the legacies left behind by Hansberry and Boseman are both emblematic of a cultural turning point that has served as catalysts for social change and creative inspiration. In this episode, we will highlight the real-life events behind Hansberry's seminal work, delve into Boseman's deliberate journey to Wakanda, and discuss how their shared legacies make powerful pleas for broader media representation.
