Crystal Stairs...

We have read "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes and discussed how Hansberry's original title for A Raisin in the Sun was Crystal Stair, which comes from this Hughes' poem. Recall the message of the mother in the poem. Today, we learned Walter had lost the family money. Do you think Mama/Lena believes Walter has failed her? How does this poem reflect Mama's actions thus far in the play? (The deadline to post a response to this blog question is midnight Wednesday, May 4, 2011.)
