Beneatha Younger is Walter's 20-year-old sister, a college student who invades the Younger household with her modern ideas and philosophies on race, class, and religion. Walter sees he progressive opinion on things as well as her education as "new" Negro culture. Beneatha sees Walter's sense nihilism and racial bitterness as an old fashioned Negro way of seeing the world.
