The Hate U Give | Book & Film Discussion with FORJ
Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 6:30 - 8:00 PM at Newton Free Library
Narratives of Change:
Stories shape the way we see the world—and each other. Join us for a discussion that brings together middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults to explore the book The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and its movie adaptation. Together, we’ll reflect, ask questions, and have honest conversations about race, justice, and community in a discussion facilitated by a Newton Free Library librarian and a racial dialogue facilitator from FORJ Newton North High School. Brought to you by FORJ Newton North High School, Newton Free Library, and FORJ Newton.
If you can, we recommend that you read the book or watch the movie (or both) before this program. You can request a library copy of the book here, and you can request a copy of the movie here. Don't have time to read the book or watch the film? You're still welcome to join us to discuss these themes. Register to hold a seat!
