It defines the prevailing climate of police brutality in the United States as an intersectional experience for the Black person. The experience is theological, political, economic and socio-culturally embodied as it considers the historic \u201camnesia\u201d of American law enforcement toward Black humanity. COVID-19 and the disproportionate death of Black folks, and the intentional acts of police brutality against living Black reflect the historic angst of the \u201cBlack Experience.\u201d Amid COVID-19 and police brutality, the Black Church exists as a standard of civility, justice, and refuge. Like the days of slavery and the \u201cunderground Church,\u201d the Black Church remains a center of refuge in its strides to provide an anchor to the weary victims of this American dilemma. For Cone, the experience dates to slavery, especially the post-slavery era of White America\u2019s public lynching of Black people \u2015 \u201cthe lynching era\u201d from 1880-1968.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Read at:<\/span> <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/canopyforum.org\/2020\/10\/02\/through-the-eyes-of-james-cone-covid-19-police-brutality-and-the-black-church\/\">&#8220;Through the Eyes of James Cone: COVID-19, Police Brutality, and the Black Church&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Through the Eyes of James Cone: COVID-19, Police Brutality, and the Black Church&#8221; Read at: &#8220;Through the Eyes of James Cone: COVID-19, Police Brutality, and the Black Church&#8221; Abstract &#8220;This presentation is a critical analysis of COVID-19, police brutality, and the Black Church through an interpretive lens of the works of James Cone.
