About this listen

The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk.

A brilliant look theologically at the cross and the lynching tree, a hementitical way to contextualize the black experience with such atrocities; I was genuinely unaware of how late lynching went on in america. It's a hard listen but worth it to get a viewpoint.

Great listen but depressing
