This essay is about a poor black family's struggle for survival in the living room of the Younger household in Chicago’s Southside. Travis, the young son of Ruth and Walter Lee, sleeps on the couch in the living room. Mama, the sixty-year old mother of the family, is waiting for a $10,000 life insurance check, for her husband who has passed away. Much of the action of the play revolves around how this $10,000 is spent. Beneatha, the daughter of the family, would like to spend some of the money on her education. Beneatha is dating two men; George Murchison is richer and kinder than Joseph Asagai. Asagai finally asks Beneatha to marry him and go with him to Africa. Walter, the son of the family, wants to invest all of the money in a liquor store. Mama is opposed to Walter's plan. After the check arrives, Mama uses part of the money as a down payment on a house in a white neighborhood called Clybourne Park. Walter is very angry at Page 2 Mama for using part of the money.
