A wonderful article about a real patriotic American. Patriotism isn't desecrating the flag by wearing it, it isn't shouting "USA! USA! USA!" at sporting events, and it's not defiling the Capitol because you can't accept that your guy lost an election. It's doing what is right, and persevering as best you can, no matter the odds. Thank you Opal Lee!
An American Hero, and a great way to celebrate Juneteenth is honoring her.

It’s sad to realize that the orange jerk eliminated both Juneteenth and MLK day in 2025, making HIS birthday a holiday instead.
He keeps trying to whitewash history but like Miss Opal, people cannot and should not forget the ugly part of this nations growth.
They can take down the history but it will always remain part of the fabric of our country
We simply cannot keep taking one step forward and two steps back.
I watched some of the ceremony for the Obama library and was reminded of what a sweet change he was and still is.
Let’s hold onto that hope still and actively fight to never let it happen again.
Thank you! What a great American!💜
