The University Union’s UNIQUE Programs will be screening the movie, The Hate U Give, on Thursday, May 2, 2019. The event will begin at 7:30pm in the University Union Ballroom. There will be free popcorn provided at the event.

The film is based off of the #1 New York Times Bestseller book, The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas. The book has received many awards, including the Boston Globe-Horn, and the William C. Morris Award. Thomas has been recognized with the Coretta Scott King Honor award for commemorating the ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King in her book.

Amandla Stenberg stars as 16-year-old, Starr Carter, who witnesses her best friend getting killed by a police officer, causing her to see the inequalities of society. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.

There will be a post-screening discussion on Monday, May 6 at 12 pm in the MLK Center, located in Lassen Hall 2011.

This event is co-sponsored by Sacramento State’s University Union UNIQUE Programs, Centers for Diversity & Inclusion (CDI) and Student Academic Success and Educational Equity Programs (SASEEP).

This event is free for students and the general public.
