Jemar Tisby Biography

Jemar Tisby is an African-American historian and professor of history at Simmons College of Kentucky, whose work primarily focuses on the intersection of Christianity and racism.

Among Tisby's notable works are his contributions to the book "Color-Courageous Discipleship." He is also the author of "The Color of Compromise," a comprehensive examination of the American church's historical complicity in racism, and "How to Fight Racism," a practical guide that offers tangible ways to address racial injustice. Additionally, Tisby authored "A Spirit of Justice" and the "How to Fight Racism Young Reader's Edition: A Guide to Standing Up for Racial Justice," published in January 2022, which further showcase his expertise in addressing racial issues within the context of Christianity and beyond.

Tisby co-founded The Witness, Inc., a resource offering insights into race, religion, and culture from a Christian perspective, and co-hosts the "Pass The Mic" podcast. His advocacy revolves around the recognition of historical injustices, driving towards a just and equitable future. Tisby's extensive knowledge and experience in these areas, combined with his role as a frequent commentator on platforms like NPR and CNN's New Day program, make him a credible voice on issues of race, religion, and social justice. Additionally, his writings have been featured in prominent publications such as The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The New York Times.
