James Cone, born on August 5, 1938, was a prominent theologian, best known for his work in Black Liberation Theology. He was a significant figure in the intersection of theology, race, and social justice, and his teachings emphasized the need for a theology that addressed the experiences and struggles of Black people. Cone’s most influential works include Black Theology and Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), where he argued that Christian theology must be reinterpreted from the perspective of the oppressed, particularly Black Americans. His ideas have had a lasting impact on theology, social activism, and discussions on race and justice.
