The Rev. Lucius Walker Jr, executive director of the Interreligious
Foundation for Community Organization and its founding director from 1967 to
1973, passed away on Sept 7.
The Rev. Walker was a tireless fighter for social justice in this country and a
supporter of progressive and revolutionary causes around the world, receiving
both the Sandino Award from Nicaragua and the Order of Friendship Award from
revolutionary Cuba. He had turned 80 on Aug. 3.
A more in-depth and appreciative commemoration will be written for an upcoming
issue of Workers World.
