Opal Lee and What It Means to Be Free: The True Story of the Grandmother of Juneteenth by Alice Faye Duncan, Keturah A. Bobo

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I grew up in the 80s and 90s never learning about Juneteenth or hearing about it. I wish I could say I was the exception, but the majority of my white peers never heard of it either. I also had never heard of Opal Lee before finding this book. I'm on a mission to educate myself and I very much enjoyed this book while doing so.
