With quiet persistence and unwavering passion, she became the face of the fight to make Juneteenth a federal holiday—finally realized in 2021, the first new one since MLK Day. Her story proves that age is no barrier to change, and that one person’s dedication can reshape history. This year, as we celebrate, let’s honor both the hard-won freedom and the tireless spirit of Opal Lee, who earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her legacy.
