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.

It was the theater that would allow Hansberry to fight.
