Bleached White Jesus From the multiple lynchings at Mt. Zion Camp Ground Methodist Church in Brooks County, Georgia. The two victims in this piece are Mr. Will Thompson and Mr. Sydney Johnson. "Bleached White Jesus" is a powerful shudder for me. It conjures the power of utterance and witness, and offers a different literacy and lens for remembrance. - Jaki Shelton Green, Poet Laureate of North Carolina
