The Hate You Give (Screening)
Pio Pico students experienced a private screening for the film "The Hate You give" based on the best selling novel by Angie Thomas. Starr Carter is the main character in the novel who is constantly switching between two worlds -- the poor, mostly black neighborhood where she lives and the wealthy, mostly white prep school that she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is soon shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend at the hands of a police officer. Facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and decide to stand up for what's right.
