Details | Join us for a conversation between Opal Lee, the “grandmother of Juneteenth,” and Sedrick Huckaby, who painted her portrait. Lee is the retired teacher, counselor and activist who led the push to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition finalist Huckaby portrays his friend in a life-sized oil painting. Sitting at her dining room table, she seems to welcome viewers to join her in conversation. |
