摘要

ED LITTON recalls looking at the black-and-white photograph and guessing it dated back to the early 1900s. He was off by nearly a century: it had been taken in 1981, less than ten miles (16km) from the wood-panelled office where he sits. In the photo, the body of Michael Donald, a 19-year-old African-American from Mobile, Alabama, hangs from a tree. Two Ku Klux Klan members, angry that a jury had failed to convict another black man accused of killing a police officer, picked Donald at random to retaliate. His is believed to be the last recorded lynching in America. "It blew my mind," Mr Litton says. "When I looked at it, I realised we live in a real segregated culture." This spurred him and his congregation to mend relations with African-Americans in their community. If elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), America's largest evangelical Protestant denomination, in June, he will lead more than 47,000 churches as they, too, attempt to heal the wounds of racism, which runs deep in their history. The sbc was founded in 1845 by separatist Baptists who wanted to appoint slaveholders as missionaries.

SBC于1845年由分离主义浸信会成立，他们希望将奴隶主任命为传教士。
