Full: Opal Lee's Walk for Freedom

Watch the full, uninterrupted coverage of the annual Opal Lee’s Walk for Freedom.  This historic event continues the legacy of the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Dr. Opal Lee. While Dr. Lee isn't physically walking this year, thousands of participants across the country are stepping up in her honor to complete the traditional 2.5-mile route. This distance serves as a powerful reminder of the 2.5 years it took for the news of freedom to reach enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, after the Emancipation Proclamation.
