&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;QUEEN OPAL’S WALK FOR FREEDOM: THE MUSICAL &amp; STAGE PLAY A Movement That Needs Your Voice. A Legacy That Needs Your Support.Queen Opal’s Walk for Freedom is not just a production — it is a national call to remember, to rise, and to respond. This musical and stage play brings to life the courage of Queen Opal Lee, the Grandmother of Juneteenth, whose 2.5‑mile walk shook a nation awake and helped secure Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Now, under the creative leadership of John Gales Jr., this story is being brought to the stage with power, music, and truth — but we cannot walk this movement forward without you. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS RIGHT NOW When you give, you are not funding a show.
