Due to tonight’s extreme weather conditions, our screening of The Hate U Give is rescheduled for next Tuesday, February 5th. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Bundle up tonight, because we’re still holding a screening of the 2018 film The Hate U Give in Beckman Auditorium at the library starting at 6 p.m. The film will be preceded by a presentation of data about police shootings of black civilians and a discussion afterwards.
Based on the best-selling novel, The Hate U Give tells the story of Starr Carter, who lives in two worlds: the poor, black neighborhood where she resides and the mostly white prep school she attends. This uneasy balance is shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood friend by a policeman. Facing pressures from all sides, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right. (Source)
