KKK Cross, Chicago Temple UMC
This fall I ran across a sculpture at the First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple. This sculpture is based upon a cross that was burned on the lawn of Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi in the autumn of 1963. The students were being encouraged by Ed King, the campus minister to go into the city and to try and desegregate the churches on Sunday morning. That not only led to the arrests of the students, but also led to the KKK burning a cross on the college lawn.
