Cathedral taps Kerry James Marshall to design racial justice windows
Washington National Cathedral named Kerry James Marshall to design four stained glass windows telling a fuller history of race in America. Poet Elizabeth Alexander will inscribe a poem on stone tablets alongside the new work, replacing messages honoring Confederate figures removed in 2017. The project aims for completion by 2023, with the openings historically covered since removal.
