Opal Lee
Tuesday, February 7 at 7:00pm
$10 per person / complimentary for DHHRM Members
In Person
Opal Lee, known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” is a retired teacher, activist, and local legend. In 2016, at the age of 89, she pledged to walk from her home in Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. in support of the campaign to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. She ultimately traveled to cities around the country, walking two and a half miles each day to symbolize the two and a half years that Black Texans waited between when Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, abolishing slavery, and the day the news finally arrived in Galveston, TX. In 2021, Lee stood alongside President Biden as he signed the bill into law. In 2022, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Today, Lee is active in the running of Opal’s Farm, an organic urban farm on the banks of Trinity River that is tackling the neighborhood’s food desert. She is involved in several community groups and helped establish the Tarrant County Black Historical & Genealogical Society, which is dedicated to preserving local African American history. |

What are fundamental human rights, and why should they be protected?

The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired more than seventy human rights treaties around the world. Join Museum Educator Maria Castañeda to learn how this milestone doctrine was created and how it continues to impact people around the world. |
