They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. Acts 10:39The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and black death, the cross symbolizes divine power and black life God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era.In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice. lynching - National Great Blacks In Wax Museum Lynching in the United States has influenced and been influenced by the major social conflicts in the country Lynching - New World Encyclopedia The word lynching is recorded in English since 1835 as a verb derived from the earlier expression "Lynch law" (known since 1811) This phrase is likely named after 'The Lynching:' A powerful look at 1981 Klan murder in On the morning of March 21 1981 the first people to spot the body of a young black man hanging from a tree in midtown Mobile weren't sure what they were looking at Jon Woodson: Anti-Lynching Poems in the 1930s Jon Woodson In the 1930s Walter White responded to a rise in the number of racial lynchings: In 1930 Walter White became NAACP executive Lynching - Wikipedia Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group It is most often used to characterise informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged Jeff Sessions Wanted to Drop the Case Against KKK Lynching Today Jeff Sessions claims credit for prosecuting a lynching by the Ku Klux Klan as proof that he is not a racist but an attorney working for him claimed Murder of Michael Donald - Wikipedia The murder of Michael Donald in Mobile Alabama in 1981 was the last recorded lynching in the United States Several Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members beat and killed The Law of the Noose: A History of Latino Lynching \\server05\productn\H\HLC\44-2\HLC213txt unknown Seq: 1 27-MAY-09 7:30 The Law of the Noose: A History of Latino Lynching Richard Delgado* I INTRODUCTION Oremus Hymnal: When I survey the wondrous Cross When I survey the wondrous cross where the young Prince of Glory died my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride Forbid it Lord that I Americas Forgotten Mass Lynching: When 237 People Were The visits began in the fall of 1918 just as World War I ended At his office in Little Rock Arkansas attorney Ulysses S Bratton listened as African
