In this episode we talk with New York Times Best Seller, Jemar Tisby about his newest book, How to Fight Racism. Jemar is the leader of The Witness, a black Christian collective, and is a seminal&nbsp; voice on racial justice and Christian history. This interview is a brief overview of the book and gives you a glimpse into Jemar’s motives in writing the book and his hopes for the work ahead. “We have done an incredibly effective job as a nation of obscuring the truth of our racial past. One of the things we can do to fight racial justice is bring that truth to light.” -Jemar Tisby<h3>Show Notes:</h3>You can learn more about Jemar’s newest book, How to Fight Racism, by <a href="https://jemartisby.com/books/how-to-fight-racism">clicking here</a>.&nbsp;Follow Jemar on Twitter: @JemarTisbySign up for Jemar’s newsletter, <a href="https://jemartisby.substack.com/">Footnotes</a>Learn more about The Witness: A Black Christian Collective by <a href="https://thewitnessbcc.com/">clicking here</a>.Follow The Witness on Twitter: @TheWitnessBCC
