Join us for a discussion of the book, "White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity" with the author, Robert P. Jones.
Drawing on history, public opinion surveys, and personal experience, Jones delivers a provocative examination of the unholy relationship between American Christianity and white supremacy, and issues an urgent call for white Christians to reckon with this legacy for the sake of themselves and the nation.
Robert P. Jones will discuss his book, "White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity". Afterwards, Jones will have a interview session with Dr. Caree Banton and Dr. Trisha Posey. Audience Q&A will follow.
Books will be available for purchase from Pearl's Books. The author will be available for book signing following the program.
