## Resource

Fort Worth is rallying to honor Dr. Opal Lee, the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” whose tireless advocacy turned Juneteenth into a federal holiday and earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Every year, she walks two and a half miles — symbolizing the time it took for freedom to reach enslaved people in Texas — and though she missed last year’s walk due to hospitalization, she’s back on schedule for Friday. Celebrating her legacy, the city is bringing together local leaders, including police and fire chiefs, while her granddaughter pushes for her to be a mandatory part of Texas schools’ Juneteenth curriculum — because Dr. Lee’s life is the living embodiment of freedom, unity, and justice.
