I have been privileged to see Dr Tisby speak as a guest at a local church and PBS television program in Nashville. I read his book Color of Compromise. Jemar Tisby is a thoughtful writer and teacher. His knowledge of history, the Bible and current events and his gift to bring all these together in his podcast and present it clearly is inspiring. We need this work to get us through these hard times. Highly recommended!
