The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

4.0

Great book! It was published in 2017 but definitely speaks to the after math of the murder of George Floyd, and the "woken-ing" of a lot of people, admittedly myself. It just proves both the point of the book and what Black and Brown people have been saying: this stuff has BEEN happening. Systemic oppression isn't new, it's BEEN around. This is a good introduction book too for someone who wants to know more, who wants to feel more, and understand more. I can see why Florida wants to ban it bc it makes you realize the reality of the fake American dream.
