Join us for a Facebook Live conversation with Ms. Opal Lee. Discussion about the state of the Black Economy and what has changed over time. 

Ms. Opal is the oldest living board member of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF) that was founded and led by the late Dr. Ronald Myers, Sr., whose primary initiative  is for Juneteenth to become a national holiday. To bring awareness to the cause, she started her Opal’s Walks 2 DC campaign in 2016, where she walks 2.5 miles to symbolize the 2.5 years that it took for slaves in Texas to know that they were freed. Ms. Opal  believes that FREEDOM should be celebrated from the 19th of June to the 4th  of July.
