A Conversation with “The Grandmother of Juneteeth”
RSVP HERE to hear from this voice of history. Dr. Opal Lee is seen as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” for her role in making June 19 a federally recognized holiday.
The 97-year-old activist will visit the Land of Enchantment for the very first time to share her family’s journey through tragedy to victory, discuss the significance of Juneteenth in American history, and celebrate New Mexico’s first Black giving circle.
