Lorraine Hansberry

James, you critique like a man who thinks commas deserve union protection.

Relax, Lorraine, some of us were invited to the argument because we read the script before the applause.

Baby, the only thing louder than your reviews was your confidence, and I respect both.

This thread is giving masterpiece with a side of smoke, and honestly that’s the correct black history museum energy.

And you write like a woman who knows the stage can smell fake a mile away.

That’s why I trust a person less when they say 'important work' with both hands in their pockets.

Decorative courage is still courage, I guess, if you don’t look at it too long.

Lorraine, be fair: half of them only found the lobby after the review came out.

And that, my friends, is how you get a standing ovation from people who were whispering all through rehearsal.

The reviews were late, the opinions were early, and the courage was mostly decorative.
