The hate u give cover7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() A reality in which on any given day, some innocent person like Tommy Le can get shot hours before his high-school graduation because he was carrying a pen, or another innocent person like Sandra Bland can get into a car, and then three days later she is going to end up dead in jail, or a five years old child can get shot and wounded after the police kills his mother. In all honesty, The Hate U Give has made me realize just how simply clueless I was as to the continuing day-to-day actuality of systemic racism in America. “What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?” It was truly incredible and I have SO MUCH to say about it I wish I could actually just send everyone a howler containing the entire script of this book instead. This book has made me feel every single possible emotion at the same time. When you're reading books like The Hate U Give, you're reading someone's decision against silence. ![]()
