==Early life==
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.〔(Tim Wise on Race and Racism in America ); The Rock Newman Show (44-47 min. mark); December 10, 2014〕 Wise attended public schools in Nashville, graduating from Hillsboro High School in 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tree52.com/Groups_Class.php?csc=1986&csi=185&csn=Hillsboro%20H.S. )〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://libguides.depauw.edu/timwise )〕 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.
