For years, people knew Lorraine Hansberry as the author of the groundbreaking play, "A Raisin in the Sun." But as filmmaker Tracy Heather Strain explains in this Peabody Conversation, "they didn't realize she was a radical activist who cared deeply about social change and thought words could change society." The documentary, "Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart," is an intimate, powerful portrait of an innovative artist who made an indelible impact on American culture, especially among black writers, directors, and actors. Peabody Awards honored the 2018 American Masters film "for its testament to Lorraine Hansberry's life and homage to her work."
