Interview with Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery

Here's a short interview with Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery. He has been at the fore of every major civil rights event or activist epoch since the 1950s. In 1955, he founded the Southern Christian Leadership Coalition alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and served as its president from 1977-98. One quote ...
The religious right has been more aggressive in defining religion while the progressives have been tentative, indecisive and sometimes confused. The children of darkness are more vociferous, better organized, better capitalized and absolutely better televised...Their claims have been simplistic and cater to the prejudices and convenience of the gullible and undiscerning.
