- When she was just 12, Opal Lee experienced a horrifying scene after her family moved into an all-white neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas; a mob destroyed their home. Now 97, Lee - a retired teacher and community activist who is best known for her successful campaign to make Juneteenth a federal holiday - decided to look up the owners of the property where her family home once stood. Correspondent Steve Hartman reports on what Lee discovered.

This is beautiful!! Cousin Opal Lee has and continues to be such a tremendous blessing to everyone! Her legacy is tremendous! ❤️
I like her perspective! I love the habitat response! Our nation needs so much more of this kinda thing!!!!
I love Habitat for Humanity gesture of generosity for Opal Lee.
Thank you Ms. Lee for your work! You have brought the light to a dark world and to see the full circle work of another good soul like President Jimmy Carter, who loved Habitat for Humanity, CBS has blessed us all with this story. The head of Habitat honored not only you, President Carter, and his dear wife Rosalyn who was right by his side with the construction of countless homes across the country, but it is a beacon of hope for those who deserve the respect of living in their communities without fear of being red-lined or being priced out beyond their abilities to even own a home. God bless you all!🙏
Millard Fuller was the founder of Hábitat for Humanity. He was a lifelong friend of President Carter and belonged to the same church in Plains Georgia.
People sometimes forget that Texas was very much a part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. People like to forget (or don't want to know) that the Battle of the Alamo was fought over the issue of slavery.
What a beautiful story of restoration...absolutely beautiful . I pray the family takes all the necessary steps to keep the home and the land in the family..due diligence 😊
Every blessing on this endeavor. Let’s see Opal move in!

Go head Ms. Lee. Did right and came out on top. Praising God for her testimony. It only takes one to believe. Beautiful ❤❤❤

This story is worthy of more than 2 or 3 minutes!
Absolutely so, if it was the white was the victim it would have been an episcle.

Someone could’ve helped her out that truck.

Biden can’t get out of a limo at 81... LOL
Trump can’t go a day without committing a crime.
@@joemartinez331 Hilarious how after countless times asking, NONE of you can EVER make the case to me or others.. LOL
@@NHLblkgurl So your takeaway from this story was to be snarky? Pretty soul sick on your part.
@@jjj1951 if you call “being snarky” not being partisan, and watching a charade being pulled with a demented puppet posing as president, while so much domestically and on the world stage is melting down, and a powder keg, then I’ll accept your euphemistic-deflections.. (Care to counter or any comeback, Professor? )
Pretty dumb thing to say
