M Shawn Copeland: "The primary subjects of my theologizing are the dead—the many thousand gone. Through attending critically to the bodies of Black women, I have expressed, in particular, the universal claim of the inviolability and sacredness of Black humanity, and reaffirmed Black dignity and worth. These broken Black bodies lie beside the body of the crucified Jewish Jesus on the altar of my heart. This suffering—his and theirs—demands from me, as a theologian, a praxis and a theory: a text for living and for dying, a text that honors their enfleshing freedom."
