Summary
Recently, Historian, Author, and Speaker, Dr. Jemar Tisby joined the Be the Bridge Youth & University Program for a virtual event entitled "From Chains to Change: Faith, Freedom, and the Black Vote." Dr. Tisby spoke to our community about the historical context of Black Christian political engagement, the importance of the Black vote, and why it is important for students to be informed and involved.
This conversation needed to be an episode of the Be the Bridge Podcast because of the historical perspective, the current realities, and the hopeful reminder that God is at work. This is needed for teens, students, and young adults, but also for adults to better navigate this election season and the ones to come!
