And so I’m going to start with a short excerpt from the book. So this is an interesting book for these times because it addresses police brutality against African-Americans. So I’m just going to turn it over to you.Ĭhristopher: Yeah. You indicated that you’d love to start with a little bit of a reading from The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Jeanie: Excellent! I love Vermont Reads and I’ve been reading your selections for many years and I’m so excited to have you on the show. We do a lot of different programs, but one of the programs that many Vermonters are very, very fond of is Vermont Reads, where we pick one novel each year and work with that novel in communities throughout the state for the entire year. And our mission is to really make sure that all Vermonters have the opportunity to read and learn throughout life. We’re the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and we’ve been around since 1974.
I’m the Executive Director of Vermont Humanities. Jeanie: Do you want to tell us before you read a little excerpt, a little bit about who you are and what you do?Ĭhristopher: Sure. Jeanie: Thanks for joining me Christopher.Ĭhristopher: Thank you so much for having me Jeanie.
