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?

From time to time, the women of Truth’s Table will invite our listeners to learn about our respective ministries, gifts, and work. In this episode,  Ekemini posits that Black Lives Matter activists have rejected respectability politics based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the politics of respectability construct. Furthermore, she interacts with Dr. Evelyn Higginbotham's politics of respectability construct as detailed in her book Righteous Discontent. In doing so, she re-appropriates the term by understanding its original meaning and the context that gave rise to this strategy of resistance. Building on Dr. Higginbotham’s construct, she reimagines respectability politics by providing a new construct entitled respectability politics reimagined, which de-centers moralism in the formal sense and centers the Imago Dei in Black people. Get your notebooks out and pick a sturdy desk as Ekemini teaches us about Respectability Politics Reimagined.
