She's considered the "grandmother of Juneteenth" and today Opal Lee visited #youracademy. Lee shared her story with cadets and spoke about her life as a retired teacher, counselor, and activist in the movement to make Juneteenth a federally-recognized holiday. Also during her visit she received a brief tour of the Academy grounds, including stops at both the Tuskegee Airman and Women Airforce Service Pilots memorials located on the Honor Court. In 2021, then 94-year-old Lee was at the White House when President Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday. #liftothers #leadersofcharacter
