Drawing on his highly acclaimed book The Color of Compromise: The Truth About the American Church's Complicity in Racism (2019), Jemar Tisby explored the connection between the church and racism throughout American history. He offered practical steps for Christians to understand and fight against their own complicity in institutional racism, both individually and corporately.

Tisby is a Christian, author, historian, and speaker. He serves as president of The Witness, a Black Christian Collective, and is co-host of the Pass The Mic podcast. Tisby is currently completing his PhD program in history at the University of Mississippi.
