Act III: It's moving day. In the beginning, everyone is still in despair about the loss of money but as the play goes on, things brighten up. Asagai comes over and convinces Beneatha not to fret over the money and offers her the opportunity to come to Africa with him where she can take up a medical practice there and learn more about her African background firsthand. Linder tries to buy the house back from them and Walter almost sells it, but then seems to suddenly mature and declines to sell it saying that the Youngers are proud, hardworking people and fully intend to move into their new house, despite their racial difference. This is a turning point for Walter who suddenly realizes that his first priority isn't satisfying his own needs, but putting the needs of his family first.
In the end, Mama finally fulfilled her dream. She moved out of that apartment just like she and Big Walter they promised they would.
I didn't really like this play very much; the plot just didn't hold my interest, but I thought it had a good, happy ending.
