Lee passed away on October 3rd, 2021 after a two week hospitalization with severe pneumonia.
He was an artist, advocate, imaginer, a beloved Clinical Social Worker/Therapist, neighbor and activist, husband and father. In particular he was an advocate for people who were blind or seeing impaired.
Kind and loving and determined to set the world right, he filled the room with his vibrant ways.
“An education and community-building art project with Neighbors to Save Rivington House, local artist Lee Brozgol, and the youth of University Settlement.”
Lee was the architect of the “Hands Around Rivington House” action. An very different kind of activism.
“one of our most lovely and moving protests regarding Rivington House” – K Webster.
Ted Glass: “I am so sorry to hear this shocking and sad news about Lee. I was thinking about him recently seeing the nice piece in the Washington Post about “Die Jim Crow” and Fury [Lee’s son]. I dug around in my files to look at the images of Lee’s ceramics and murals on his old website. This is a great loss to you, your boys, his patients and this neighborhood. I am so sorry.”
There was a Memorial held for Lee in the M’Finda Kalunga Garden last weekend.
Condolences to Alizah, Fury and to the entire family.
We lost a good man.
Rest in Peace Lee.
