Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 masterpiece A Raisin in the Sun addressed "assimilation," which remains a problem in the 21st Century. There is severe inequity, and gentrification has further polarized individuals as well as groups. Radically different cultures have moved into each others' "territories," and misunderstandings as well as xenophobia exist on all sides. Many disenfranchised Americans, as well as anti-government fringe groups that formed long before Trump, have chosen to follow Trump as the moniker of their cause. There is no easy solution to problems long in the making.
