“The Rev. Joseph E. Lowery on Wednesday urged Latinos and African-Americans to form alliances to build a political and civil rights powerhouse.

Lowery, president emeritus of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, compared the immigrant rights movement today to yesterday’s civil rights movement.

He said he hoped the conscience of the black community would cause African-Americans to “exercise sensitivity, compassion, fairness and a sense of justice” on such issues as immigration reform and discrimination against Latinos.”
