0:34.1	Thank you for daring to listen.
0:48.8	Thank you for daring to listen. All right. Welcome everybody back to the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast. We are honored today to have a very special guest, Dr. Jamar Tisby.

1:59.0	And I do that mainly through my substack, Jar-Tisbee.substack.com.
2:03.3	We'll put the plug in early so we don't forget later. And then I've also got several
2:08.0	books out, Color of Compromise, How to Fight Racism, my most recent one, The Spirit of Justice.
