Tuesday Topic: CNHP Reads The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
April 19, 2021
Join students, faculty, and staff of CNHP to discuss this powerful, important, and deeply engaging bestselling novel The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. This event will be a group discuss as part of the “Tuesday Topics” series, facilitated by students, faculty, and staff at CNHP.
Book description: Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does--or does not--say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
