‘Grandmother of Juneteenth’ is gifted a new home

When Opal Lee was 12, a racist mob, angered that a Black family had moved in, drove her family out of their Texas home. Now, the 97-year-old community activist is getting closer to moving into a brand new home on the very same tree-lined corner lot in Fort Worth. Lee, who was one of the driving forces behind Juneteenth becoming a national holiday, joined others in lifting the framework into place for the home's first wall. (AP video: Kendria LaFleur)
