It's Shakespearean in that it will last forever,” said Emerson, the Garden’s first Black female director, of “A Raisin in the Sun”. “What Hansberry did in 1959 was put a Black family on stage and made people realize that they weren’t so far away from any other family, from the white families sitting in that Broadway audience. And hopefully, at the end of those two and a half hours, when people walk out, there’s some change.”AdIn Emerson’s stint at the Garden, Walsh said he noticed the change.
