Join Opal’s Walk for Freedom – Thursday, June 19, 2025
Celebrate Juneteenth by joining Dr. Opal Lee—the “Grandmother of Juneteenth”—as she completes her annual 2.5-mile walk, symbolizing the 2.5 years it took for news of emancipation to reach the last enslaved people in Texas.
Now a national holiday, Juneteenth honors the day freedom truly reached all. Through Unity Unlimited, Ms. Opal continues to walk each year to remind the nation that freedom is for everyone.
Walk with Opal from anywhere!
While Ms. Opal will walk alongside her community in Fort Worth, Texas, she invites people across the country to join her in spirit and solidarity. Whether it’s through your neighborhood, on a treadmill, at a local track—or wherever you are—walk your 2.5 miles and help keep the legacy of Juneteenth alive.
