After Racist Mob Destroyed Her Home 85 years Ago, Ms. Opal Lee, Gets New House On Same Property

We honor Opal Lee, the 97-year-old activist known as the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," who recently received a brand new home on the site where a white mob destroyed her family's house 85 years ago. The returned property and new home are significant gestures and milestones in her lifelong fight for racial equality. In 1939, her family was forced out, and their home was burned down by a mob of 500 people. The new house, funded by Texas Capital Bank, Trinity Habitat for Humanity, and HistoryMaker Homes, symbolizes resilience and hope. Lee's advocacy was pivotal in making Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnA-gnCEjuzUZ7eNCIQgSg/join Hey Rebels!
