The Juneteenth walk in Fort Worth is always a happy occasion, but there will be an additional reason to celebrate this year.

Opal Lee, the woman known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth, should be back to lead the procession.

Opal Lee's 'Walk for Freedom' What we know: Dione Simms told FOX 4 that her grandmother will ride in a car during Friday's walk from the Will Rodger Memorial Plaza down West Lancaster Avenue.
