WTL Author Forum (2024-07]: My Conversation with Jemar Tisby about His New Book, "The Spirit of Justice"

PLUS, 25% off paid subscriptions with purchase of new paperback edition of "The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy"

Dear #WhiteTooLong readers,

Last night, I hosted a live zoom event exclusively for paid subscribers: a conversation with

Jemar Tisby, PhD

about his new book, The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance, which was published this week. I’m happy to be able to share the conversation with all WTL subscribers. Tune in below for our wide-ranging conversation about the inspiring lives of dozens of Black Christians who fought against injustice throughout American history. Jemar’s new book is a critical for understanding how the work of justice continues, even when injustice seems so intractable.

Access to the live WTL Author Forums is reserved for paid subscribers only. Paid subscribers get to hear about the story behind the book and ask questions of authors. We’ll have an exciting lineup of other authors all year, including:

• 10/30: Brad Onishi, author of Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism--and What Comes Next

• Date TBD: Sam Perry, author of Religion for Realists: Why We All Need the Scientific Study of Religion--Now More than Ever

• Date TBD: Amanda Tyler, author of How to End Christian Nationalism

• others coming soon!
