In the book The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, I learned that if we truly want something to change, we have the ability to change it.  In this book, a sixteen year old African American girl witnesses her friend get shot by police officers.  Not only does she feel distraught, but she also feels powerless because of her gender, race and age.  This book taught me that no matter how little we think we are, we can still create a movement.  As long as one person listens, at least we’ll leave a mark on them.
