Rev. Joseph Lowery, 'Dean' Of The Civil Rights Movement, Dies At 98

Lowery was a gregarious figure with expressive, bushy eyebrows, and a signature soul patch below his lower lip. He remained at the helm of the SCLC for decades. His social consciousness spread to a broad range of issues, at home and abroad — from apartheid in South Africa and Palestinian liberation to police brutality and states' rights.

LoL. Please with the Racist Bullsh*t 24/7. Not once can the Vipers at npr write a respectful obit without starting with racism. Evil Incarnate. MAGA

The USA clearly did not listen for tRuml was voted in after and injustice ensued.

The tragedy is that COVID-19 will prevent a homegoing celebration fit for a champion.

And then trump happened

Rest in Power, Rev. Lowery! You will be missed but your legacy lives on in generation after generation who refuse to go backwards!!

A giant. American treasure

RIP

“We ain't going back,' he said.” 'We've come too far, marched too long, prayed too hard, wept too bitterly, bled too profusely and died too young, to let anybody turn back the clock on our journey to justice.' The control that such courage must embody inspires awe. RIP Sir.

Rest in peace Reverend Joseph Lowery, my condolences to his family and friends, warrior for civil rights and so much more 🙏🏽

RIP Reverend

🙏

A legend. RIP, Reverend.

A long worthy life... Rest &Rise, Sir

RIP Reverend Lowery. 🙏✨
