Good Day, Happy Monday, Happy New Week ahead, & Happy Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday! Here's wishing you all the best for them all, and praying you make this a 'day on' instead of a 'day off'. There's much to admire & respect about the Life & Legacy of Dr. King, but there's unfortunately so much more left to achieve.

So click below for more inspiration, see/click all the various links to listen to or watch his speeches, sermons & interviews, be inspired by the words & works of Dr. King, remember, respect and have reverence, but more importantly take responsibility, take a stand & take action to speak up, carry on his legacy & quest for equality & equity, love for one another, freedom for all, overall civil & human rights, take hold of the baton, and carry on the fight & quest for doing what is right, and prayerfully work to one day truly get to the mountain top & achieve the Dream he envisioned for us all. Be blessed & Be a blessing! 🙏🏽🥰✊🏽😇

🔥 DOWN BELOW! Experience. Share. A list, with links, of Rev. Dr. speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth powerfully, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary.

✔️Our featured writing is The World House chapter from ’s last published book before he was assassinated, ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’ Here’s an excerpt from that chapter, but we encourage you to read the entire book: https://www.beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2010/01/martin-luther-king-jr-the-world-house-excerpt.html

✔️“Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” Acceptance Speech - https://youtu.be/az8VvmcgNpE

✔️“It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.’ https://youtu.be/dOWDtDUKz-U

✔️“This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From ’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’ https://youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk

✔️From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’: “Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” https://youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/D7Y8Q9nSK5A

✔️“I never intend to adjust myself to racial segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry...” Brief, but still . Are you maladjusted and proud? https://youtu.be/hhCtkfImxuE

✔️ in 1967, sounding like he’s talking in 2026: “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression.” From ‘The Three Evils of Society.’ https://youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM

✔️‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.” https://youtu.be/AJhgXKGldUk

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview with NBC in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/2xsbt3a7K-8

✔️And now, ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ A masterpiece. “You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.” https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

Our History

Honored with over 100 years of serving in excellence, integrity, and professionalism, the now Lee’s Funeral Home, LLC was established in 1915, White Plains, NY by Theodore Jay Lee, Sr. He actually began his funeral service career before 1915, in partnership with other gentlemen, in a post-slavery, Jim Crow era, out of need in addition to desire, serving an otherwise unserved community, as many area firms would not even serve families of color until well after the 1970’s. Also a pre-regulation era, funeral service soon became regulated, and he was the only one of his partners to graduate mortuary school, one of two African-Americans in his class, and the only partner qualified to own a business. He met and married Mattie R. Lee, who went on to help him in this, and other business dealings, as they were truly “undertakers”, literally under-taking other tasks such as notary, real estate, bail-bondsmen, etc., again for an unserved community. They had one child, Theodore Jay Lee, Jr. A WPHS graduate, after attending NYU and serving in the Army, he graduated mortuary school, cm laude, and began the 2nd generation working in the business. He married JoAnne F. Lee, who was a registered nurse. But she too then graduated cm laude from mortuary school and joined him in the business. They had two children, Jennifer & T.J. Lee, III. Both WPHS graduates, T.J. attended Boston University and Westchester Community College, now working in the business as facilities manager. Jennifer graduated the University of Virginia with 2 BA’s, then summa cm laude from mortuary school, and is funeral director and manager as 3rd generation in the business. Both Mr. Lee, Jr. and daughter Jennifer have served on the NYS Funeral Directing Advisory Board.
