About me:
..
I am an anti-racist educator, essayist and activist, and the author of four books: White Like Me: Reflections on Race From a Privileged Son, Affirmative Action: Racial Preference in Black and White, the essay collection, Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections from an Angry White Male, and the newly released Between Barack and a Hard Place.
Most of what I know about racism, I learned from people of color: folks in public housing in New Orleans, with whom I had the honor of working for fifteen months as a community organizer and advocate in the mid-90s; writers like James Baldwin, Angela Davis, and Elizabeth 'Betita' Martinez, among many others; and the amazing leadership of the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond.

You rock, Tim Wise!

Thank you.
Spread that gospel, Tim...
I met you tonight at the First Congregational Church of Oakland and had you sign my book "Because white girls need heroes, too."
Thank you so much for your autograph and for taking a picture with me. I respect your work so much!
Have a great week!
May LOVE and PEACE accompany you wherever you go.

“For we are mere students in this thing called love.
For we did not discover it, it discovered us.
We can never think that we have mastered it,
or completely understand it ,
for to think that we are fooling ourselves
and robbing it of it’s majesty.
We can no less create it
then we can create the world in seven days.”
~ M. R. B. ~
