Fighting Racism: Giving the Formerly Incarcerated a Chance at True Freedom with Stanley Frankart 

Racism is not an ideology invented by people of African descent—people of European descent who are considered white hold that dubious distinction. So what is the role of white people in fighting racism? In part four of the Fighting Racism series, I talk with Shelley and David Park. They are the transracial adoptive parents of a son who is Black. They also composed a curriculum called “Let's Talk Race: A Beginners Guide to Conversations about Race.” In this 5-week course they talk to other white people about race. Delve into the definition of an ally and how white people can act in solidarity with Black people and other people of color. LINKSLet's Talk Race - Shelley and David ParkSubscribe to JemarTisby.Substack.com so you'll never miss a new episode.Grab your copy of How to Fight Racism HERE.FIGHTING RACISM is a miniseries powered by FOOTNOTES WITH JEMAR TISBY and is made in collaboration with the RELIGION NEWS SERVICE.

Jordan Neely used to dress up and do Michael Jackson impersonations. But on May 1, 2023, a Marine veteran on a subway train put him in a chokehold that led to his death. Neely had allegedly been shouting on the train about how he was thirsty, hungry, and tired of his situation. Neely should not have been killed. He suffered from homelessness and mental illness and the system failed him, we failed him, long before the day of his death. We talk about why attacks against the houseless population should be classified as hate crimes, why we need better mental health care for this group, and how to have meaningful proximity to people who are unhoused. Check out Dr. Lester's organization: Love Beyond Walls And his latest book: All God's ChildrenFollow on IG x Twitter: @IamTerenceLester Be sure to subscribe to my Substack to support this work! JemarTisby.Substack.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

Homelessness, Mental Health, and How We Failed Jordan Neely

Julie Moore

In what is becoming a disturbing pattern in Christian higher education, I was contacted by another professor who was fired for her teachings about racial justice. Professor Julie Moore, formerly of Taylor University, taught a composition class with a racial justice theme. She's been doing this for years. But in January of 2023, her provost refused to renew her contract. As part of the paltry evidence for the dismissal, he cited a quote from me that Professor Moore used in the introduction to her syllabus. Listen to Professor Moore's story as well as how she and Professor Sam Joeckel are calling the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) to act. Also check out Professor Moore's open letter describing her ordeal on my Substack: JemarTisby.Substack.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

No Confession without Truth: The Firing of Professor Julie Moore

News comes at you fast. It’s not just hard to keep up with everything that’s happening, sometimes you don’t know which voices to trust to help you interpret what’s going on. That’s where Footnotes comes in. Jemar curates the week’s current events with a focus on issues related to black communities, justice, and politics. He’ll also offer commentary from a black Christian perspective to help you think through complex issues. Footnotes adds the details you need to be an informed citizen, activist and believer.

Footnotes acts like a compass in these days of “fake news,” systemic injustice, and “alternative facts.” Not only that, as a white Christian living in the Deep South, this podcast is essential to the flourishing of the body of Christ. One can develop language, perspectives, and action steps to contrast the happy-go-lucky, privileged christianity that rubber stamps a political agenda by engaging here. I am consistently challenged, encouraged, and informed by these episodes. Jemar’s honesty and clear, informed opinions are legit.

Open Arms

Very thoughtful and measured. Highly recommended!  -Trackstarz Podcast
