Good, should have never been there in the first place.

The woke stuff doesn't have a place there either. Perhaps religious themed windows would have been appropriate in a cathedral.

They replaced on set of divisive images with another set of divisive images.

+1 Choctaw. Or maybe more generic images of different people coming together in peace so that separation of church and state is also upheld.

In line with Fitzovich, the Lee-Jackson windows were installed in 1953 after intense lobbying by the UDC. Not at all coincidental that this happened after the desegregation of the armed forces and amidst the growing Civil Rights movement.

The new windows have representations of Black Americans carrying signs that say "Fairness" and "No Foul Play". Anyone who thinks this is woke or divisive has a deplorable understanding of the message of Christianity and the ideals and aspirations of American democracy.

And may we also bear in mind that this is an Episcopal Cathedral? Despite its name it has no connection to the government, Federal or District. They are free to do as they wish, based on the will of their Dean, Diocese, and private funders. It's frequent use for state funerals, national mourning, etc., is at the discretion of the same and has come about because it is the largest religious building in the District and one of the largest in the country. It is also convenient that as a Protestant and ecumenical place of worship, it is welcoming to people of many faiths or none.
