We take a leap forward in time from our last episode on If Beale Street Could Talk, and look at a more modern story of how the justice system continues to fail African Americans. Written by Angie Thomas with the adaptation directed by George Tillman Jr., The Hate U Give is a sprawling story of a young girl dealing with loss and forced to confront the problems in the justice system and within her community as well. We'll discuss as many of these fantastic characters as we can, while also addressing the problematic white people (intentional and not), looking up 'dap', and of course getting your swirl on.
