SUMMARY:RLC Book Club with Dr. Jemar Tisby\, "How to Fight Racism"
DESCRIPTION:How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. \nIn this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller The Color of Compromise\, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. \nThe A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: \nAwareness: educate yourself by studying history\, exploring your personal narrative\, and grasping what God\nsays about the dignity of the human person. \nRelationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make\nreconciliation real and motivate you to act. \nCommitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. \nTisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles\, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world\, and you can be part of the solution. \nJemar Tisby is the author of the New York Times bestselling book\, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the Church’s Complicity in Racism\, How to Fight Racism\, and How to Fight Racism: Young Reader’s Edition. He is also a Professor of History at Simmons College of Kentucky in Louisville. Jemar has been a co-host of the “Pass the Mic” podcast since its inception seven years ago. His writing has been featured in The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Times among others. He is a frequent commentator on outlets such as NPR and CNN’s New Day program. He speaks nationwide on the topics of racial justice\, U.S. history and Christianity. Jemar earned his PhD in history and he studies race\, religion\, and social movements in the 20th century. You can follow his work through his newsletter\, Footnotes\, and on social media at @JemarTisby. \nJoin Red Letter Christians on Zoom with Dr. Jemar Tisby and Shane Claiborne on July 23rd at 7 PM ET to take a deep dive into his newest book\, “How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice”. \nRegister to join us on Zoom or join Red Letter Christian’s Facebook\, YouTube\, or website live.
