The Hate U Give: A Community Conversation in Tiverton

February 27, 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

Members of the Greater Tiverton community are invited to a four part series of community discussion, facilitated by Rev. William Sterrett of Amicable Congregational Church, aimed at bridging the divide that has been rising in this heated political climate.

This second conversation will be a book discussion on the Reading Across Rhode Island 2018 book, The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas, acknowledging and exploring racial tensions in our country. Multiple copies are available to borrow from the library in advance to minimize wait time for this popular book.

At 6:30, the Ted Talk “The Righteous Mind” will screen for anyone who missed the first for anyone who missed the first session on the ethical elements that influence our decision making. This Ted Talk will form the basis of how we look at the topics being covered in these later weeks.

This event is co-sponsored by Amicable Congregational Church with a secular approach. People from all viewpoints and backgrounds are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this dialogue. Please remember to be polite as we share in discussion on difficult topics.

Contact Emily at 401-625-6796 or egoodman@tivertonlibrary.org for more details.
