When Mr. Linder says his committee is trying to do something different about racial problems in Clybourne Park, what mood is established? Hopeful? Dissappointed? Suspicious? How does Beneatha react to his statement? Explain your answers thoroughly.

Beneatha knows what the "lowdown" means coming from this middle aged white man. The lowdown is basically a veiled threat that they cannot move into the neighbourhood. Beneatha knows that he will couch the recent bombing in fake concern for the Younger family. He is actually threatening them that this will happen again if they choose to move in.
