{"value"=>"<p>Lorraine Hansberry frequently worked on a number of play scripts simultaneously; many remained unfinished, including by Nemiroff. The Incompleted Play Scripts, encompasses eighteen such scripts, some intended for the stage, others written as screenplays, one a television play, and yet another a musical. Arranged alphabetically each script ranges from one to five folders. The Final Glory is based on the case of Harold Ward, a leader in the Harvester International strike, concerning a black union member in Chicago in the early 1950s. The Marrow of Tradition, after the 1898 book with the same title by African-American author Charles W. Chesnutt, concerns the 1898 race riot in Wilmington, North Carolina. Simon's House, which features two Japanese characters, Hansberry considered to be a \"fantastic drama\". Hansberry also wrote about Paul Robeson and Mary Wollstonecraft. Nemiroff submitted The Arrival of Mr. Todog for publication in 1966, but it was rejected.</p> <p>There are also numerous copies of published editions of collected works and anthologies featuring Hansberry's plays (1.4 lin. ft.) including A Raisin in the Sun, The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, What Use Are Flowers?, among other works. A listing of these books is included in Appendix A.</p>"}
