The Washington National Cathedral announced Thursday it has commissioned renowned Black artist Kerry James Marshall to create"racial-justice themed windows" that will replace two stained-glass windows the church removed in 2017 that memorialized Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas"Stonewall" Jackson.
The church has also tapped celebrated poet Elizabeth Alexander, who was the inaugural poet for President Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, to write a poem that will be inscribed on stone tablets alongside Marshall's new windows. The tablets with Alexander's poem will overlay the previous ones that revered the lives of Confederate soldiers.Both projects are expected to be completed by 2023 and permanently installed in the cathedral that year.
