The Cross and the LynchingTree: Conclusion: America's Uncomfortable Legacy

Connie Morris concludes the Unequal by Design series by unpacking James H. Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree. She explores how lynching shaped American culture, the church's complicity through silence, and the enduring legacy of both the lynching tree and the cross. Cone’s call is clear: truth, justice, and repair must replace selective Christianity and passive comfort.
