\u201c’A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should understand that what happened to Jesus was a lynching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Do not look away and do not rush to redeem this violence.
A MAN WAS LYNCHED TODAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again and again we find ourselves\u2026 here, where even Jesus is groping for God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
