Opal Lee’s Juneteenth Vision Is Becoming Reality

Opal Lee lived in a predominantly white neighborhood in Fort Worth. At the age of 12, a white mob of 500 burned and vandalized her home. These
events pushed Mrs. Lee to become a civils right activist. In 2016, she walked from Fort Worth to Washington DC in an effort to make Juneteenth
named a national holiday.
Juneteenth is now a federal holiday in the United States. 46th President Joe Biden signed the bill on June 17, 2021, making Juneteenth the eleventh
American federal holiday and the first to obtain legal observance as a federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was designated in 1983

On Sunday, July 18th, at the historic I M Terrell Academy, Chapter President Kenyail Carr of Fort Worth Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.,
honored Mrs. Opal Lee, the Mother of Juneteenth with a proclamation. This event, hosted by Fort Worth African American Women Leaders, paid

The History and Celebration of Carole Robertson

Four Little Girls

On September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded at the 16th Baptist Church
in Birmingham, Alabama. This racially motivated crime killed Denise
McNair (age 11), Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia
Wesley (all age 14). Carole Robertson was a member of the
Southeastern Region of Jack & Jill where her mother served as the
Regional Director. At the 1964 National Convention in Seattle, Jack
and Jill of America Inc. established that each September chapters
would commemorate the memory of Carole Robertson, as well as
continue to strive towards justice and equality.

Carole’s Tribute 2021

The Fort Worth Chapter celebrated the life and legacy of Carole Robertson on
September 25, 2021. The event was held at Camp Carter YMCA in Fort Worth,
TX. We set up a table in memory of Carole with her picture, pink and blue
flowers, and white balloons with the inscription, “Forever in our hearts.” The
history of Carole Robertson was read by Teen President Madison Muckelroy
and Teen Vice President Peggy Carr. Afterwards, the children released balloons
in remembrance of our sister - Carole Robertson.

Jack and Jill Day was an amazing opportunity to bring together chapter families to kick off the 2021-2022 program year. The celebration took place at 10 am at Camp
Carter YMCA in Fort Worth, TX on September 25, 2021. Jack and Jill Fort Worth Chapter Olympic Games was our theme this year! We created a field day schedule to
help with the flow of events. Fathers were the timers, judges, and coordinators of activities. There was an opening torch ceremony. The torch was passed from the
oldest athlete to the next in each grade group. President Kenyail Carr received the final pass of the torch from the youngest athlete. She led the chapter children to the
pavilion where Pastor Louis Carr prayed over the event. There were three competitions to medal in: a timed obstacle course, archery, and the 25/50-yard dash. The
children competed by grade groups and gender for first, second, and third place medals. The Olympic winners took pictures with their medals behind the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place stands. All winners were photographed together at the end. Grade group participants also had the option to participate in gaga ball, basketball (12 and up), sand
volleyball (12 and up), giant Jenga, corn hole, connect four, visit the reptile habitat, see baby goats, explore the nature trail, and/or brave the suspension bridge.

We also learned about African American Olympic athletes via a trivia game. Robinson’s BBQ catered and Kona Ice partnered with the Teen Auxiliary to help fundraise for
the Jack and Jill Foundation and a community partner. Foundation Chair McCormick distributed the loose change boxes. The Community Service Committee had a book
drive to support the Como Community Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Father Roberts Albert had a KICK-OFF campaign by teaching our children about getting on the ballot
for Tarrant Co. for 2022. Parents signed and supported our soon to be candidate. In addition, Father Roberts shared his personal testimony about the power of voting
and how every vote counts. We accomplished the following thrusts: Social, Recreational, Legislative, Cultural, and Community Service. It was a beautiful Covid-19 safe
activity to start the program year!

Guard-approved labels 7) Take family CPR lessons 8) Schedule water safety and swim lessons.
