A Conversation with Opal Lee

In this special episode of Real Conversations With AARP, we’ll talk with the Grandmother of Juneteenth.

REGISTER HERE

Listen in as we hear from Ms. Opal Lee, Grandmother of Juneteenth, who has dedicated her life to making sure that the historical significance of Juneteenth is not forgotten. Join us as Ms. Lee, now 96, talks with Harriette Cole about the marches she organized across the United States to amplify the cultural significance of Juneteenth. She also will share how her unwavering dedication to social justice, as well as the support of millions, ultimately led to Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday. This is an event you won't want to miss!
