Characters:
Ruth Younger - The thirtyish wife of Walter Lee Younger and the mother of Travis, their ten-year-old son. Ruth acts as peacemaker in most of the explosive family situations.
Travis Younger The ten-year-old son of Walter and Ruth Younger.
Walter Lee Younger In his middle thirties, he is the husband of Ruth. Walter works as a chauffeur and drinks a bit too much at times.
Beneatha Younger - The twentyish sister of Walter Lee and the daughter of Lena Younger. She is a college student planning to go to medical school. She is sometimes a little overbearing in the pride she takes in being an "intellectual."
Lena Younger (Mama) - The mother of Walter Lee and Beneatha, mother-in-law of Ruth, and grandmother of Travis. Lena's (Mama's) every action is borne out of her abiding love for her family, her deep religious convictions, and her strong will that is surpassed only by her compassion.
Joseph Asagai - An African college student from Nigeria, Asagai is one of Beneatha's suitors. Mannerly, good looking, and personable, he is well liked by all members of the Younger household.
George Murchison - Beneatha's other boyfriend, he too is a college student. His wealthy background alienates him from the poverty of the Youngers.
Mrs. Johnson - Brash and abrasive neighbor of the Youngers, she insensitively points out to the Youngers all the negative repercussions that await them should they decide to move into the white neighborhood.
Karl Lindner - A weak and ineffectual middle-aged white man, Lindner is the spokesman for the white community into which the Youngers plan to move.
Bobo - The somewhat dimwitted friend of Walter Lee who, along with another friend, Willy, plans to invest in Walter Lee's business scheme.
Two Moving Men - Having no speaking parts, they enter at the end of the play to help the Youngers move to their new neighborhood.
The intensely affecting drama chronicles how a financial windfall touches the lives of an African-American family living in Chicago in the late 50's. A simple desire for a home of their own becomes the touchstone of their integrity.
