He also asked, what happens to a dream deferred? Does it wither like a Raisin in the Sun?
The play/movie Raisin in the Sun was about a dream that almost was deferred, but courage made it come true

Player #38618593, I believe the line is 'dry up' instead of 'wither.' I could be wrong. The next line is "or does it fester like a sore and run?" Harsh questions, the purview of the Poet. He was gifted and Called. How good for all of us that he had the courage to answer that call. Not all do...
