What would Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun be like if it took place today, and why?

Since racism is still around, the basic premise of an African-American family trying to find its place in a predominately white community would be similar to that expressed in the play. However, the laws have changed, giving those who would want to keep out the Youngers little legal justification. The white residents’ fears would not be as widespread as in the play, since more neighborhoods are integrated. But because of recent racial conflicts, their fear would be based on the threat of violence, rather than just a black family in a white community. The Youngers might encounter racial profiling with a few police officers in some communities. Walter Lee would have more opportunities for self-improvement. Ruth would also have more job opportunities than just doing someone’s laundry. The problem with the head of the family not making the best choices and risking the family financial situation for the sake of an untrustworthy friend unfortunately is prevalent in any generation. Families, especially African-American families, still struggle to make their dreams come true.
