MSM Mourns the loss of Mrs. Evelyn Lowery

The Morehouse  School of Medicine joined the Atlanta community in  mourning the loss of Evelyn Lowery, the wife of civil rights leader Joseph E. Lowery  who died overnight in her Atlanta home. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lowery  family during this time of loss.  

Evelyn Lowery, the wife of civil rights leader Joseph E. Lowery, died overnight in her Atlanta home.

She was 88.

Lowery, the founder of SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. (Women’s Organizational Movement for Equality Now), suffered a stroke on Sept. 18 and had been hospitalized for a week. She returned home from the hospital on Wednesday, after doctors told the family that her condition would remain critical.
