44 - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

We are here for racial justice and loved reading about Starr as she decides to fight the injustice in her life. There are some very significant differences between the book and movie that change whole the meaning of T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. as it affects the Carter family. We missed the references to Fresh Prince that were constant in the book and think that Chris got the "girlfriend treatment."   Episode Drink: Milk Fortify your body so you can go out and protest for longer. Plus, it's handy to have on hand in case things escalate and some trash police officer tries to pepper spray you.   Places to show your support for the movement: George Floyd Memorial Fund Minnesota Freedom Fund Black Visions Collective Reclaim the Block Campaign Zero Anti-Racism Resources Bail Funds/Legal Help   Our Drinking Game for this Story  Take a drink: Anyone says "king" Sekani acts like a little brother You see news coverage  Harry Potter is mentioned The movie title is explained And down your drink when you've had it with the injustice in the world and you're ready to get out there and protest   Fantastic Reads Em: How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X.
