And Rev. Dr. James Cone, known as the founder of black liberation theology, has died at the age of 79. A longtime professor at Union Theological Seminary here in New York City, Dr. Cone was the author a series of groundbreaking books, including “Black Theology & Black Power,” “A Black Theology of Liberation,” “Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare?” and “The Cross and the Lynching Tree.” Professor Cornel West calls Dr. Cone “the greatest liberation theologian to emerge in the American empire.” We’ll have more on his life and his legacy later in the broadcast with Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas and Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock.
