Tim Wise

Timothy Jacob "Tim" Wise (born October 4, 1968) is an American anti-racism activist and writer. Since 1995, he has given speeches at over 600 college campuses across the U.S. He has trained teachers, corporate employees, non-profit organizations and law enforcement officers in methods for addressing and dismantling white racism in their institutions.

Early life and education

Wise was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to Michael Julius Wise and LuCinda Anne (née McLean) Wise. His paternal grandfather was Jewish (of Russian origin), while the rest of his ancestry is northern European, including some Scottish. Wise has said that when he was about 12 years old his synagogue was attacked by white supremacists. Wise attended public schools in Nashville, graduating from Hillsboro High School in 1986. In high school he was student body vice-president and a member of one of the top high school debate teams in the United States. Wise attended college at Tulane University in New Orleans and received his B.A. there, with a major in Political Science and a minor in Latin American Studies. While a student, he was a leader in the campus anti-apartheid movement, which sought to force Tulane to divest from companies still doing business with the government of South Africa. His anti-apartheid activism was first brought to national attention in 1988, when South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu announced he would turn down an offer of an honorary degree from Tulane after Wise's group informed him of the school's ongoing investments there.

    Consuming Fire

    by: Tim Hughes

    There must be more than this
    O breath of God, come breathe within
    There must be more than this
    Spirit of God we wait for you
    Fill us anew we pray
    Fill us anew we pray
    CHORUS:
    Consuming fire, fan into flame
    A passion for your name
    Spirit of God fall in this place
    Lord have your way
    Lord have your way with us
    Come like a rushing wind
    Clothe us with power from on high
    Now set the captives free
    Leaves us abandoned to your praise
    Lord let your glory fall
    Lord let your glory fall
    CHORUS
    BRIDGE:
    Stir it up in our hearts, Lord
