| Summary: | This essay inspired by the memory of James H. Cone (1938-2018) and Katie G. Cannon (1950-2018), explores the contributions of both scholars to the academy, society, and the public space. Drawing on selected publications, it argues that the recent "passing over" of these two liberationist theologians to other shores of existence warrant significant reflection on their legacies in combating social and other forms of death, reimagining black historical, communal, and eschatological existence, and visions of liberation, justice, and peace for all. They articulated an idea or vision of American society that ran counter to and sought to transcend the dominant construction or ethos of American society. |
