Ms. Opal Lee, also known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth, spent a lifetime advocating for its national recognition through decades of grassroots work. In 2021, her efforts were honored as she stood beside President Biden when Juneteenth was finally signed into law. Black history is American history. Happy Juneteenth everybody! 🎥: blkcultureunlocked

Born into slavery in rural Franklin County, Virginia, Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) credited his education with helping him escape a life of poverty.

After attending and then teaching at Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (today Hampton University), he became the founding principal of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and led the college from its start in 1881 until his death in 1915.

With the college’s success, he became a nationally prominent educator, author, and orator.

You can learn more about Washington’s life and legacy in our upcoming special exhibition, “A Better Life for Their Children.” Opening March 7.
