Speak Up/Speak Out: Conversations About Race
Thursday, April 22
2-3 p.m.

Join us for virtual community conversations as we continue to discuss race and social justice in Columbus and in America.

Each month we’re choosing a book, article, movie or music selection from our collection to experience and reflect upon together. 

Our moderators and panelists are community leaders who strive to speak up and speak out to address institutional and systemic inequities that face our communities.

April SelectionThe Hate U Give by Angie Thomas  
Genre:  Young Adult fiction (2017)
Check it out: Available in Book, Audio CD, eBook or eAudiobook 

The Hate U Give handles topics such as race, interracial dating, grief, friendship, police brutality and the media's depiction of Black youth with honesty and empathy. 

In Angie Thomas’ debut young adult novel, Starr is a 16-year-old Black girl who navigates two worlds: her Black neighborhood and her mostly White suburban high school. When a White policeman shoots her unarmed Black friend in front of her, she is confronted with her two worlds converging over questions of police brutality, justice and activism.

The Hate U Give was made into an 2018 original motion picture in starring Regina Hall and Amandla Stenberg. Listen to the soundtrack on Hoopla, free with your library card.
