There has been a lot written about African-American women and whether a majority will support Barak Obama, an African-American man, or Hilary Clinton, a European-American woman, in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. By the way, if you haven't seen or read the debate between second-wave feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem and Princeton University Professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell on Democracy Now!, you should check it out!
Since I spend so much time thinking about Lorraine Hansberry, I've wondered what she might have said about this presidential race, and which of these two candidates she would have supported, if she had been inclined to back either. What do you think?
Take our What Would Lorraine Hansberry Do (WWLHD)? poll on the right, and explain your selection in the comments using what she's written to support your position.

Thank you for your work on the Hansberry Documentary Project! I think Hansberry is one of the most underrated political thinkers of our time.
