For one 95-year-old Grandmother, Ms. Opal Lee,  witnessing President Biden sign a bill into law that makes Juneteenth a national holiday was a dream come true.

 

 

For most of her life, the feisty grandmother has been petitioning, marching, and preaching for a holiday to honor the end of slavery.

Watch President Biden thank her. It puts a human face on what this bill means to so many people.
