Short Answer
1. What does racism mean? What are some of the different ways in which people can display racist attitudes or behavior toward someone? What does racism look like in the context of America?
Teaching Suggestion: Hush focuses on a Black family who enters the Witness Protection Program because the father, a former policeman, speaks out against his colleagues who shot and killed a Black boy. Racial Bias and Stereotypes is one of the themes explored in the novel, and a discussion on racism and its different expressions may help set context.
2. What do you know of the Federal Witness Protection Program? Why do you think it exists? How does it work? What impact do you think it could have on the children who are part of the program?
