Day 45 – Good Friday
“’A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY’
These words were stitched onto a flag that flew outside the Manhattan headquarters of the NAACP between 1920 and 1938. When a Black person was lynched, the flag was raised the following day…
You should understand that what happened to Jesus was a lynching.
…Do not look away and do not rush to redeem this violence.
A MAN WAS LYNCHED TODAY.
Again and again we find ourselves… here, where even Jesus is groping for God.”
— Rev. T. Denise Anderson
