What a privilege to see and honor Opal Lee as she accepted the Hospitality Award at Visit Fort Worth’s Annual Meeting. Thank you to Visit Fort Worth for putting on a wonderful (and safe!) event for the community and to BOKA Powell for having us at your table.
Last year, Civil rights leader Opal Lee collected 1.5 million signatures on a petition to create a national holiday for Juneteenth, the day the Civil War-era Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Texas.
