3.0 James Cone: the Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York

Bill Moyers Journal | Race in America | November 23, 2007

Bill Moyers interviews theologian James Cone about the cross and the lynching tree as symbols of tragedy and triumph.

With the noose and the lynching tree entering the national discussion in the wake of recent news events, Bill Moyers interviews theologian James Cone about how these powerful images relate to the symbol of the cross and how they signify both tragedy and triumph. "It was the poor, black victims being lynched. In Rome time, it was poor Jews being lynched. The analogy is almost perfect there," he says. "So, how are we today going to understand what was happening to Jesus unless we see what was happening to black people in those trees?"

Dr. Cone is the Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York. He is best known for his groundbreaking works: "Black Theology & Black Power" (1969) and "A Black Theology of Liberation" (1970). He is also the author of the highly acclaimed "God of the Oppressed" (1975) and of "Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare?" (1991).
