Opal’s Walk for Freedom

June 19 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm EDT

 

On Wednesday, June 19th, Ms. Opal Lee will complete her annual 2.5-mile walk @ the African American Museum of Dallas to recognize the 2.5 years it took for the news and enforcement of freedom to reach the enslaved people in Texas.

Now a national holiday, Juneteenth celebrates the freedom gained when slavery was abolished all across the country. Unity Unlimited and Ms. Opal continue her walks to educate the nation on the importance of understanding that freedom is for everyone.

Register to walk virtually with Ms. Opal from any location or join our Opal’s Walk Live events in a city near you. Join to support her continued mission to support the National Juneteenth Museum and educate the country about freedom and Juneteenth’s power to heal America.

Registration is required HERE
