The name of the neighborhood they were moving into

Another play was written as a sequel to this, but I can't remember the name. It was named after the neighborhood the poor black family moved into.
The follow-on play shows the mistreatment they received there as the first family to integrate it, and then years later another installment when civil rights 'had been won' (as we know it's backsliding now in 2014).

Wow!! I never knew there was any sort of 'follow-up' to any of the events portrayed in Hansberry's work. Thanks so much for the link.

I'm going to read this.
