Joseph Lowery was an American minister and civil rights leader who played a significant role in the American civil rights movement. He co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) with Martin Luther King Jr. and served as its president from 1977 to 1997. Lowery was known for his passionate advocacy for racial equality, voting rights, and social justice. Here are a few quotes by Joseph Lowery:
1. ”We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.”
2. ”We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
3. ”There’s nothing better than being able to reach people with your words and touch their hearts.”
4. ”We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.”
5. ”In the struggle for human rights and justice, no one is too young to start, and no one is too old to learn.”
6. ”We have to see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody that is far superior to the discords of war.”
7. ”The struggle for justice doesn’t end with me. This is just the beginning. We’ve made some strides, but there’s still a long way to go.”
8. ”We must be forever vigilant and diligent in our efforts to ensure that our principles of freedom, justice, and equality are protected and advanced.”
9. ”We must be the keepers of the dream, the movers and shakers, the peacemakers.”
10. ”We’ve come a long way, but there’s still a long way to go. There are still injustices that need to be addressed, and we must continue the fight.”
These quotes reflect Lowery’s commitment to equality, justice, and the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
