In the Kusler-Cox Auditorium of the Rundel Library Building is a lecture titled Black Theology: The Life and Work of James Cone.

James Hal Cone (August 5, 1938 — April 28, 2018) was an American theologian, best known for his advocacy of black theology and black liberation theology. His 1969 book Black Theology and Black Power provided a new way to comprehensively define the distinctiveness of theology in the black church. His message was that Black Power, defined as black people asserting the humanity that white supremacy denied, was the gospel in America.
