Joseph Lowery, Civil-Rights Lion From King to Obama, Dies at 98
quote:Joseph Lowery, the civil-rights activist who helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King Jr. and, 52 years later, blessed the inauguration of the first black U.S. president, Barack Obama, has died. He was 98.
He died Friday at home in Atlanta of natural causes, the Associated Press reported, citing a statement from his family.
Lowery’s view of the injustices of segregated America came from his upbringing in racially divided Huntsville, Alabama, and his role as a Methodist minister in Mobile and Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1950s and 1960s. He worked with fellow ministers King and Ralph Abernathy to create the SCLC in 1957 and was president from 1977 to 1998.

Rev. Joseph Lowery was a giant who let so many of us stand on his shoulders. With boundless generosity, patience, and moral courage, he encouraged a new generation of activists and leaders. Michelle and I remember him fondly today, and our love and prayers are with his family.
What a joy it was to watch him pray and preach. I took heart in him saying, “We ain’t going back. 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.”
We are grateful for what he did for this country. He carried the baton longer and surer than almost anybody. It falls to the rest of us now to pick it up and never stop moving forward until we finish what he started—that journey to justice.
