Summary

In this episode, the women of Truth’s Table are joined by Dr. Glenn Bracey, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Villanova University, specializing in racism and social movements. He has published in several leading journals, including award-winning articles on the white-supremacist nature of the US government and racist cultures in white evangelical churches. He is currently working on two books—Saving Whiteness, which analyzes white evangelicalism as a race-based social movement; and 21st Century Lynchings, examining recent white-on-black killings and black responses to high-profile murders. Pull up a chair and take a listen as Ekemini and Christina discuss his recent article, “Race Tests”: Racial Boundary Maintenance in White Evangelical Churches.” How will Dr. Bracey answer the series question, Multiethnic Churches: A Foretaste of Heaven or Bulwarks of White Supremacy?
