"Jimmy Lunceford was buried here in Memphis. The spot he occupies should have something of a special significance...He took a group of relatively unsophisticated Memphis colored boys and welded them into an organization which scaled the heights of musical eminence...He presented something new in the way of musical presentations by Negro orchestras. Lunceford and many others like him chose to remain at home, and with their people. [His death] should have meaning in inspiration and guidance to others. If we permit it, Lunceford's burial in Memphis can mean this."
