I perfectly understand that I live in a fantasy world, but I hold out hope that, as John Keating desires in “Dead Poets Society,” culture will again teach people to think for themselves, take agency, and carpe diem. If a missile alert came in on my phone, I’d keep doing what I already am: reading a good book and listening to Robert Schumann’s “Träumerei.”

Only 14% of kids books published in the US had black, Latino, Asian or Native American main characters featured, according to a 2015 study by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Democrats won Wisconsin in every presidential election from 1988 to 2012, but Hillary Clinton’s strategists made the mistake of taking the state for granted in 2016.

Hansberry did not remain in Chicago after attending the University of Wisconsin. By her early 20s, she was married to a fellow radical, a white, Jewish guy named Robert Nemiroff. They lived at 337 Bleecker St. and together imbued all that was Greenwich Village in the 1950s. But there is no question that Chicago and its theater formed her artistry. She had been exposed to Chicago theater as a child. And she rapidly figured out that playwriting was a way to make people both think and feel, and to express the ideas in which she believed. It was the theater that would allow Hansberry to fight.
