Atlanta, Georgia The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a leader in America's civil rights movement, died Friday. He was 98.
Often called the"dean" of the civil rights movement, he worked hand in hand in the movement's formative years with the Revs. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesse Jackson.He once said he missed"Martin" and other civil rights activists who had died before him. But he felt that God was keeping him for a single cause: To address the injustices of the criminal justice system, particularly toward poor black men.
— Be A King March 28, 2020 Lowery was a recipient of the Medal of FreedomLowery started the Coalition for the People's Agenda in 1998 to educate and register new voters, and he continued to be involved in the cause until his passing.In 2006, he was criticized for playing politics at the funeral of Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr., for railing against the Bush administration and the war in Iraq.

Rev. Lowery will be missed. As a torture victim of the FBI and asylum seeker in Zambia, I understand what it would mean to have a champion of civil rights defending me. In his absence, I continue to be victimized by the American regime. Please RT
Rest In Peace

Rest well and our condolences to the family.
What I'm wondering is where is the next generation of people that will replace these great men and woman. I got to say I see the youth walking around and thier only concern is who just texted them, twitted, or gave them a thumbs on on some stupid fb post.
🙏 A buonanima
