📣 Happy Juneteenth, Fort Worth!

Today, communities across our city are gathering to celebrate freedom, reflect on our shared history, and honor the progress that has been made.

As we celebrate, we'd like to recognize one of Fort Worth's most beloved residents, Ms. Opal Lee. This year, she celebrates an incredible milestone—her 100th birthday! Known as the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Ms. Lee spent years advocating for national recognition of Juneteenth, helping ensure that this important part of American history would be remembered and celebrated across the country.

Right here in Fort Worth, there are events, gatherings, and celebrations happening throughout the day. We are proud to be part of a city that values remembrance, community, and the ongoing pursuit of a better future for all.

If you're attending a Juneteenth celebration today, tell us where in the comments—we'd love to hear how our community is celebrating! ❤️
