## Resource

Michelle Obama is heading to Fort Worth for a historic celebration: Opal Lee’s 100th birthday, honoring the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” and marking the opening of the National Juneteenth Museum. Tickets drop Wednesday at 6 PM CT — don’t miss it. For decades, Opal walked 2.5 miles every Juneteenth to symbolize the time it took for Texas to hear about freedom, even marching to D.C. in 2016. She stood with President Biden when Juneteenth became federal law in 2021, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, got her own Barbie doll, and is now being honored by Fort Worth — with her granddaughter pushing to include her story in state curriculum. This isn’t just a party — it’s a tribute to a justice warrior whose legacy continues to shape America. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
