Fort Worth’s iconic “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” Dr. Opal Lee, is turning 100, and the whole city is celebrating with a pretty major guest: former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.
Obama will come to Fort Worth on Wednesday, October 7 as part of the National Juneteenth Museum’s Uniting Voices speaker series. The event, "A Conversation with Michelle Obama," will take place at 6 pm at the Fort Worth Convention Center, according to an announcement from the museum.
The event will be open to the public, and tickets will go on sale soon, the museum says.
