In honor of Juneteenth, we celebrate Fort Worth’s own Dr. Opal Lee—the “Grandmother of Juneteenth”—for her lifelong commitment to freedom, unity, and justice.
From leading her powerful “Walk for Freedom” right here in our community to helping make Juneteenth a national holiday, her impact continues to inspire generations.
Today, and every day, we honor her legacy and the ongoing journey toward equality.
