Leading history
Black History Month person of the day
Lornune Vivian Hansberry was bom May 19,1930, in
Chicago. Her parents were prominent in black cultural
and political circles, which exposed her to arts and culture
from an early age. She attended the University of Wiscon
sin but moved to New York City in 1950.
Hansberry was a reporter and associate editor for Free
dom, a progressive black newspaper, from 1950 to 1953,
when she quit to pursue a play writing career. She shortly
married Robert Nemiroff, a writer and graduate student at
New York University. For the next three years, she worked
odd jobs, studied African history withW.E.B. DuBoisand
wrote. In 1957, she completed “A Raisin in the Sun,” and
it opened on Broadway in 1959.
The play was the first drama by a black woman to
be produced on Broadway, and it earned her the New
York Drama Critics Circle award for Best Play. She
was the youngest person and the first black person to
win the honor. The play had an all-black cast, except
for one person, a black director and many black in
vestors, which opened many possibilities for black
people on Broadway.
Hansberry wrote the screenplay for a movie version
of her play, which won her a Screenwriters Guild
Award and a special award at the Cannes Film Festi
val in 1961. She died Jan. 12,1965.

“Regardless of whatever your final
decision is in terms of allocating their
budget, I think (PFC) should com
mend the students for working with
(PFC) on (its) budget.”
Campus radio station KWVA 88.1
had two hearings Tuesday.
After PFC voted 4-3-0 to hear the
appeal, KWVA launched into its ap
peal hearing.
“This funding is crucial,” Charlotte
Nisser, the general manager or KWVA,
said in reference to the radio station’s
request for more money to be allocat
ed for equipment repair.
PFG disagreed.
“I think the budget was increased a
healthy amount,” Martell said, refer
ring to the 16.49 percent increase in
funds PFG allocated KWVA during its
first budget hearing.
PFG members agreed with MartelTs
statement, and voted against an in
crease 6-0-1.
The Japanese Students Organiza
tion walked away from its appeal with
a $100 increase in food holding for
Japan Night, which brought its new
budget to $4,034.
Both Child Care Subsidy and
Conflict Resolution Services did not
budget for mandatory increases in
pay. PFC allocated each group the
desired funds, giving Child Care
Subsidy 8235,162 and Conflict Res
olution Services 851,447. The Com
munity Internship Program also
asked for an increase in payroll and
received 814,905.
Baha’i was tabled until Thursday
because members failed to show up
to the hearing.
