How to Fight Racism with Jemar Tisby
So, you know we had to interview Mr. Blue Check Verified right? Our “guest” today is the man who made it all happen! Jemar Tisby, the CEO of The Witness Inc is on today to talk about his new book How to Fight Racism. After the incredible success of his book The Color of Compromise, we are excited to talk about his call for the church to pursue a courageous Christianity. How to Fight Racism is a handbook for pursuing racial justice with hands-on suggestions bolstered by real-world examples of change. Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism in our relationships and in everyday life through a simple framework--the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice--that helps readers consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist action. This book is for anyone who believes it is time to stop compromising with racism and courageously confront it.The book releases on January 5 so don’t forget to pre-order!https://www.amazon.com/How-Fight-Racism-Courageous-Christianity/dp/0310104777/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=30TJMJHB52NCU&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+fight+racism+jemar+tisby&qid=1607956280&sprefix=how+to+fight%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFRSzVRSFlMN01NSVEmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2ODI1NzQyUjJNMkxLVFpaQUkmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDQ5MTAzM1BRU09NREhPMTFIQSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Learn more about your ad choices.
