This is such an important read. The Hate U Give is told by Starr, a 16 year old, who witnesses the murder of her friend Khalil in the hands of the police. It mirrors so many tragedies that have taken place and gives the important perspective of the witness, her feelings, and the importance of speaking up for injustice. It addresses the hypocrisy in our society and the excuses that are made for murdering people of color.
