Eggs Represent The Value Of Practicality - And He Fact That Ruth Is Always To Walter To The Practical Thing. Walter Sees This Advice As Stifling To His Dreams

A 1959 play by Lorraine Hansberry. The title comes from the poem "Harlem" (also known as "A Dream Deferred") by Langston Hughes. The story tells of a black family's experiences in the Washington Park Subdivision of Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood as they attempt to "better" themselves with an insurance payout following the death of the father.
