The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a leader in America's civil rights movement, died Friday.
He was 98. Lowery's death was confirmed by family representative Imara Canady, who said he died of natural causes. 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.

The dean of all race pimping reverends. He has now gone onto his reward.
Never heard of him
Never heard of him.
Then again Senator Jim McCain of AZ is almost forgotten too.
He was the forerunner of the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Wikipedia is your friend. This guy is the one who said incredibly embarrassing and racially stupid remarks at Obama‘s inauguration and Coretta Scott King‘s funeral.
He’ll have a Stamp in his honor within the year.
And there’ll be streets named for him in “da ‘hoods”.
He died decades after the movement did.
No great loss. Another race hustler who made his living by promoting racial divisiveness, government dependency and hatred.
Already street named for him in Atlanta has been for years.
Glad he lived long enough to see President Trump elected. And probably knew he will be re-elected in November.
With all of the quarantines we won’t have to endure two weeks of his funeral.
Prayers for his soul.
