Book Description
Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person. Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act. Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The bombing of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killed four young girls, and injured at least twenty others. It was a turning point in Charles Morgan Jr. ’s life, as he realized that he was complicit in the state of race relations in Birmingham. #2 The Color of Compromise is about telling the truth so that reconciliation - robust, consistent, and honest - might occur across racial lines. However, many Christians try to bypass the truth-telling process in their haste to achieve reconciliation. #3 Racism is a system of oppression based on race. It is not only personal bigotry toward someone of a different race that constitutes racism, but also the imposition of bigoted ideas on groups of people. #4 The Color of Compromity is an introduction to the history of racism in the American church, and how it has shaped Christianity in the United States. It highlights several prominent figures and events, but does not cover every single person and event that has shaped American Christianity over the past centuries.
