     With the noose and the lynching tree entering the national discussion in 
the wake of recent news events, Bill Moyers interviews theologian James Cone 
about how these powerful images relate to the symbol of the cross and how they 
signify both tragedy and triumph. "It was the poor, black victims being 
lynched. In Rome time, it was poor Jews being lynched. The analogy is almost 
perfect there," he says. "So, how are we today going to understand what was 
happening to Jesus unless we see what was happening to black people in those trees?" 

Dr. Cone is the Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic 
Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York. He is best known for his 
groundbreaking works: "Black Theology & Black Power" (1969) and "A Black Theology of 
Liberation" (1970). He is also the author of the highly acclaimed "God of the 
Oppressed" (1975) and of "Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a 
Nightmare?" (1991).
