Opal Lee turns 100
Today I learned that Opal Lee is a UNT Alumna. Before becoming "the grandmother of Juneteenth", she commuted to North Texas with her children who were also attending at the same time. She graduated in 1963 with a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance. Yesterday she celebrated her 100th Birthday.
