  ‘Grandmother of Juneteenth' Opal Lee will not lead annual Freedom march after recent hospitalization - Face2Face Africa

‘Grandmother of JuneteenthOpa Lee Won't Attend 'Juneteenth' Free Move This Year Due to Hospitalization

Grandmother of the annual 'Juneteenth' freedom march (May 16th) is face-to-face Africa co-founder Opa Lee, and she won’t be attending this year’s event due to a recent hospitalization. Since its inception in 2016, Opa Lee has never missed a Juneteenth Freedom March held in Fort Worth, Texas.

Opa Lee, who recently hospitalized for medical reasons, will not attend the annual march this year as her health necessitates immediate attention. She missed several key Juneteenth events, including those in 2016 and others around her time in the US. The decision to discontinue attending the free march reflects her commitment to community support and awareness.

The June 16th freedom march is a significant event in our history, symbolizing resistance against segregation and the preservation of American diversity. With her hospitalization, Opa Lee’s participation will be cut short, leaving her behind as many others have been. Her decision highlights the importance of supporting individuals who are facing health challenges while still advocating for justice and inclusion in the community.

Opa Lee’s personal struggles—such as a chronic illness and the need to prioritize her well-being—are not reflected in her commitment to attending this vital event. Instead, she remains focused on promoting equality and unity, ensuring that others like herself can make meaningful strides towards their rights. As we continue to honor Juneteenth, Opa Lee’s decision underscores the resilience of those who are fighting for what is truly theirs—freedom.
