Summary

Opal Lee, known as the 'grandmother of Juneteenth,' celebrated her 100th birthday in Fort Worth, Texas, with a groundbreaking ceremony for the National Juneteenth Museum. The event included demolition of the Southside Community Center to make way for a 50,000-square-foot facility featuring galleries, a theater, a business incubator, and a food hall. Reports indicate the museum project has a total cost of $70 million, with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pledging $3 million for the museum and a genealogy center. Former First Lady Michelle Obama attended or was scheduled to appear as part of the museum's Uniting Voices speaker series. Services from the demolished community center will be relocated to the Hazel Harvey Peace Center, and 40,000 pounds of food were to be donated to Fort Worth food pantries. Lee, a lifelong community activist and former teacher, has been instrumental in establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday. The museum is expected to open in 2029.
