The Reverend Joseph Lowery, the longtime civil rights leader who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, died on Friday at the age of 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.
