History is about stories. Real people. True events. Profound emotion.

That’s what I love about studying history—the narratives.

The stories affected me so profoundly that I got my PhD in history, and I’ve written two books: The Color of Compromise and The Spirit of Justice all about history.

What if you could learn Black history from a Black historian during Black History Month?

Let’s start a conversation about your event.

This is the best approach I've experienced yet on digging into deeper feelings and perceptions - Dr. Tisby is gifted' ... 'Thank you to Dr Tisby for the powerful knowledge!'

There are so many stories to tell. We can talk about:

• The Spirit of Justice: Lessons from Leaders Who Fought for Racial Justice

• Black Progress, White Backlash: Exercising Resilience in the Face of Resistance

• Black Women of the Civil Rights Movement: The Lives and Lessons of Unheralded She-roes

• Jesus and Justice: Understanding the Church’s Role in Racial Transformation

• This IS Your Grandmother’s Civil Rights Movement: How History Informs Today’s Racial Justice Work

• And more…

If you’re interested, reach out to the professionals who help me plan these events. If cost is an issue, organizations often partner together and pool their resources.

As you can imagine, Black History Month is one of the busiest times for me, and I can only travel a limited number of times.

Spots fill up fast, so take action today.

What People Are Saying…

"The MTSO community was thrilled to have Dr. Tisby among us. From the meal to the conversation, everyone was engaged."

-Methodist Theological School in Ohio

Dr. Tisby possesses an astounding ability to dig into the history of our nation’s troublesome past and connect that history with policies and customs that are adversely impacting our social, religious, and political realities today.

Rev. Keith Caldwell, Centenary Baptist Church

With the incision of a prophet, the rigor of a professor, and the heart of a pastor, Jemar Tisby offers a defining examination of the history of race and the church in America. Comprehensive in its scope of American history, Tisby presents data that provides the full truth and not a sanitized version that most American Christians have embraced.

Soong Chan Rah, North Park Theological Seminary

'Thank you to Dr Tisby for the powerful knowledge!' ... 'Gratitude for the transparency and clarity' ... 'Thanks for bringing some humanity to these words and concepts we come across. Much appreciated.' ... 'Dr. Tisby, thank you for this incredible and forever impactful session. I ordered your book and can't wait to read and share with my family and friends. God bless you and your wisdom and truth!' ... 'Thank you ALL for this session. So powerful and insightful!'
