Iconic civil rights leader Joseph E. Lowery turned 92 on Sunday, and a star-studded bash in his honor went on despite the fact that his wife of 63 years, Evelyn, passed away just 10 days before.
The night ended with a special appearance by Jamie Foxx, who kneeled down next to Dr. Lowery in his wheelchair at center stage.
“I want to do whatever I can to make sure I can shine as much light on your life, because you’ve shined so much light on ours,” said Foxx.
Happy Birthday Dr. Lowery… 92 years have done you well. Thanks for all your sacrifice & dedication. Atlanta GA is a wonderful place to live. I miss the southern love!
