- "We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there [standing ovation]... but Coretta kew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty aounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor." -Reverend Dr. Joseph Lowery, at the Coretta Scott King funeral, in front of 4 presidents
I met him such a dear charmer. Rev. Lowery was a kind soul. He was my Pastor's closest friend ; so we got to see him often. And truly our( benefit)just the same humble, lively,gentleman as he was on that day.
Rest In Heaven Reverend Lowery. We'll miss you dearly.
matthew1985p Amen!
Indeed, Rest In Peace Rev....
The way he captivated the crowd, there’s not one dull moment in his speech.
This is one of the greatest orations that should always be kept for history's sake!!!
I can only smile and nod my head as he speaks. His uncanny talent to not only command a crowd but also take a very serious moment and make it fun and laughable is nothing short of brilliant. My hats off to him.
RIP Warrior! I love you and I am going to miss you so much! I can't believe you're gone but thanks for fighting as hard as you did for all of us and for speaking truth to power!
A wonderful woman, with a wonderful husband ,who had wonderful children, that became a wonderful family, who sacrificed their lives for a wicked racist world. Bro. Harrison, minister
I met Mrs. King many times. She lived in fear of her husbands demise, but remained a beautiful spirit until the end.
His presence brings joy, respect, love, power, strength, holiness and civil rights...Rest in Power!
Now she can rest in peace with her husband Dr. MLK, she should be glad she doesn't have to live in such a terrible World like this anymore, but a much better place now in Heaven.

Joseph Lowery at Coretta's funeral wonderful
Brilliant Man At Rest In Jesus!✝️❤️
There are no words!
The Dean of the civil right movement.. such an eloquent and powerful man.
coretta Scott king, was very lady like
coretta scott king very beautiful
No Comparison..period
Sit down before I take up an offering HAHAHAHAHA 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
wow! Now that's a speech!
I'm not a Joseph Lowery "fan," although I support him and his amazing legacy. As far as funerals go, this one was truly a celebration of her life and Rev. Lowery captured the moment perfectly ("the moment" being Ms. King's death, her legacy, and her place in current events).
Trump would have had a cow…I admire the former presidents for their grace and dignity and for not making EVERYTHING personal and vindictive. Awesome poem
Doc was something else
This is my Great uncle he is my gmas uncle I went to his house when I was 4 or 5 his wife has a teerible stroke and later died
It's unfair to compare,
there's no better orator,
than this crazy old preacher.
Heartbroken😭R.I.Heaven #deanofcivilrightsmovement
#sclc🕊🙏🏽
#presendialmedalofhonor
oh yes rev Lowery who could have brought this crowd expect Coretta.
but in the morning.......enough said!
'She summoned the nations to study war no more. She embraced the oneness of the human family from shore to shore. Excuse me Mya,' lol.
king she was a powerful woman by walking beside her husband and singing she had a beautiful beautiful voice and
How awesome!!
Awesomness...!
I love this preacher!!!
Rest In Heaven Reverend Dr. Lowery.
His speech and Maya Angelou GOD what a speech.
What a Class Act Mr.Lowery
He was Hilarious
maybe the funeral wasn't the best place to have said it, not sure because of what Mrs. King represented to this country. but, i give him credit for saying it to bush's face.
LOL Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery is a trip. Love Him!
I'm shocked his mic didn't get cut off @ 4:30 TRUE RELIGION @ its finest.
Rest up big dawg
Rip he was amazing teacher
Excuse me mya🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont get it
Maya Angelou
thank you
kl
and one more thing, speaking truth to power is not inappropriate, but necessary.
Oh I loved him!!!!!!
Well done!! 💛🧡💛🧡 Loved it
This is awesome.
his has got to have some big cahones.
how do you think we got to September 4, 2013? Clinton left us with peace and prosperity, Bush left us with two wars and financial ruin. Obama has spent the last 5 years digging us out of the hole bush made. and, yes on September 4, 2013 we are better off than when Bush left the White House in January 20, 2009. The economy, the banking situation, the housing situation, healthcare, have all IMPROVED from when Bush left office. The numbers speak for themselves.
Rest in perfect peace, Papa
Miss King That’s Sad I’m sorry
Does anyone have the clip from Maya Angelou's speech? She, along with Rev. Lowery made me shed some tears.
I like him!
🙌🏿
wooow
He knew Coretta personally for decades. I'm sure he, out of anyone, knew how she would approve or disapprove. Stop flaming a youtube video. She was a political individual, even if she did not always stand out as much as her famous husband. In that sense, a political funeral is exactly appropriate.
Everyone this is not a time to argue about racism but a time to remember Mrs.King and no to complain about politics and Presidents
Trelane, I agree completely. I assume we'll both continue to get those little red numbers beside the "thumbs up / thumbs down" icons. I don't care. Political opportunism at a funeral service (which is for the family/friends of the deceased) is, at best, disrespectful. I'm sure it made the crowd and a few Democrats happy (although a know a few Democrats that were equally appalled) but that doesn't negate the fact: this was wrong.
Fast forward September 4, 2013. And weep.
That boy bad!
"Sit down before I take an Offering" LOL
the government helped destroy MLK and yet today we see them sitting closest to his wife. The same people she was fighting against were honored at this funeral.
odd....
4:50 is all I got to say..
What was Bush Sr. and Jr. laughing about at the end of the is clip. The man just called you liars and oppressors of poor people. Get a look on Jr.'s face. Its was like they were old friends. May God have mercy on us all and may God bless the whole world. Amen
This is another example of the black church experience. George Bush (41) had no idea that this was not necessarily a funeral but a celebration of life. Never apologize for being black. OBAMA '08
why was Bush up there??
Thank you Miss Sesquipedalian for helping me to tackle that tough word. Very kind of you.
And so because the word "ass" is in the Bible (notwithstanding the fact it is always used to refer to the animal and never used as a derogatory term), you feel like it's okay for a Christian to say it, huh? Interesting. Tell your pastor that you talked to an ass this week and let me know how he responds.
Word of wisdom: Sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil (Isa. 5:20 NLT).
Keep in mind that he was only holding up the legacy of the KIng's not this BS that America passes off to negate the Preacher King ... truth crushed to earth shall rise!
...in a participatory democracy, bad laws are to be changed and bad officials are to be ousted. Nevertheless, there is a very real respect that Paul uneqivocally calls all Christians to give because the position is instituted by God. For that reason alone, and notwithstanding political differences, Lowery should have done the respectful thing and omitted his political rant from his speech.
As far as your pointing me towards Isaiah 30:8-11, God is speaking to those...

March 2023
did all my weeping January 20, 2001 through January 20, 2009, when this country declined to it's lowest point EVER in history.
WMD's. bush lied.
I don't think George W. Bush respected the position that he was given so, it goes both ways.
Of course we'll never hear Stone Cold Bush Jr. say he did wrong, but everyone knows because the past 8 years speaks for itself.
So, thank you, Internet preacher.
The inauguration today was so forward looking, and then this dinosaur trots out a tired old rhyme that wasn't particularly clever the first time around. All the good he's done in the past doesn't mean he's above criticism for disrespecting the president at the funeral, and delivering a hacky benediction at the inauguration.
He was a coward. He was talking at people. When could have pulled the people aside and said his peace.
You mean like Trump. Lieing about covid 10. Calling players mother bleep. Oh yeah this conservative president has such great class. Please, trump is a wonderful race hustler as well he just does is it a little better and has a base of people to help mitigate what he does
04:35 Bush pants down, biggest slap.
i think between the two, and we only got the two choices, obama is the better choice. i think romney is an opportunists and is only looking at the presidency as a trophy. i don't feel he has the country's best interest at heart. based on his past and the way he has raked this country over for the love of a dollar, i don't think we should trust him.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Matthew 7:1)
Is that christian enough for you? Let me know.
I just realized you used the word "ass" in the pejorative sense. I read your profile. Doesn't that kind of language viotate the Christian tenet of "let[ting] no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers" (Eph. 4:29). Tsk tsk. That's a shame for someone who lists the Bible as their favorite book. What a testimony.
umm...it sounds to me like you're the one that won't let the situation go. It's been over two weeks since I've commented on this video.
So...again, why don't you let it go. That would be an EVEN BETTER Christian way to handle it!!!!!! And again I say AMEN!!!!
oh ya...we sure got an upgrade in 08...LOL
george bush in the audience had a big ol dish of Humble pie!!
HA HA HA!
Sadly, I don't think it fazed him in the least. For that matter, I don't think humility was anywhere in that presidential row, with the exception of Carter.
Once, again you're confusing me for someone who's religious with the comment "you need to practice what you preach." btw the Octogenarian insert was a bit contrived. I'm actually 5 years younger than you (If your profile's correct in listing your age as 34).
Finally, I can see that you have nothing else to resort to except for these "sticks and stones" comments so I'll let you make the last "Christian" comment.
