Black History Through Film: The Hate U Give

Black History Through Film is a R.I.S.E. movie night series that uses storytelling on screen to explore the lived experiences, struggles, and resistance of Black communities across time. Through powerful films, we examine how history, identity, and systemic inequality shape everyday life, and how storytelling can be a tool for truth-telling, reflection, and action. Each screening invites students to not only watch, but to think critically, engage in dialogue, and connect the stories on screen to broader conversations about justice today.

Film Screening: The Hate U Give
This film explores police violence, youth activism, and the criminalization of Black life through the eyes of a young Black girl navigating grief, courage, and voice. It offers an accessible yet powerful entry point into conversations about racial injustice, media narratives, and the role of young people in movements for change.
