Civil Rights leader Rev. Joseph Echols Lowery died at home, surrounded by his daughters, on Friday, March 27, at the age of 98. He did not put down his sword until his last day.

Sadly, this is as close as I got to Rev. Lowery. I called him from the King Memorial in Atlanta because he was too ill to meet in person. When I explained Kemp and Kris Kobach’s voter purge program, he told me, “It’s Jim Crow all over again.”
And we are ready to battle again.
