YWCA: Real Reads Regional Book Discussion – The Hate U Give

YWCA Greater Cincinnati is partnering with local libraries, bookstores and universities to present community conversations across the Cincinnati region exploring the effects of interpersonal and structural racism on our culture and society. In our efforts to end racial and religious profiling, Real Reads offers an opportunity to read, talk and listen to others, to engage in real talk and connect across differences.

Format:
Book discussions and film screening with panel discussion.
The Hate U Give
Join us as we explore Angie Thomas’ bold examination of the complexities of race in America through the story of sixteen-year-old Starr Carter, whose world is shattered when she becomes a key witness in the shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer.
