Joseph Asagai is Beneatha Younger's Nigerian boyfriend, who proposes to her while she is hoping to be rejected by her other suitor, George Murchison, whom she considers shallow. He hopes Beneatha will get a medical degree and move to Africa with him.
The play does not reveal whether the two do indeed marry but it seems likely by the end.
Joseph Asagai was played by Teagle F. Bouger in the 2004 Broadway revival of the play, while David Oyelowo took the part in the 2008 film. Oyelowo also played Steven Jacobs in the 2011 film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and Martin Luther King Jr in the 2011 film "Selma".
