The Rev. Joseph Lowery has died a few months after celebrating his 98th birthday with loved ones.
Lowery made his mark in the 1950s and 1960s as a key civil rights leader at the shoulder of Martin Luther King Jr., before serving the longest tenure in history as the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
He once said he missed King 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, reported CNN Friday.
