Join HISTORY and honor the living legend herself, Opal Lee, by signing up with Team DCDP in Opal's Walk for Freedom on Juneteenth! ✊🏾🔥

Lee campaigned for decades to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. She promoted the idea by leading 2.5 miles walks each year, representing the 2.5 years it took for news of the Emancipation Proclamation to reach Texas. In June 2021, President Joe Biden signed Juneteenth into Federal Law.

Honor the Grandmother of Juneteenth's efforts by walking with us, alongside other activists and community members to commemorate the holiday. 💙

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.

The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

DCDP proudly presents the 2026 Legacy in Media award to Mollie Belt for her enduring legacy in journalism.

Mollie Finch-Belt carries forward her father's legacy. Fred J. Finch, Jr. founded The Dallas Examiner in 1986 and published one issue before he and Mollie's mother were murdered in their home. In 1997, Mollie and her husband reinvested their resources to revitalize the paper — and have spent nearly three decades giving the Dallas African American community its own news service.

Join us in honoring her and her achievements at our Burger Bash celebration. 💙

DCDP proudly presents the 2026 Luminary award to Cheryl Smith for highlighting important conversations and embodying Black excellence.

Cheryl Smith is one of the most influential Black journalists in North Texas. A Florida A&M graduate, she founded I Messenger Enterprises in 2011 and publishes Texas Metro News, I Messenger, and The Garland Journal — building independent Black media when too many newsrooms were closing. The National Civil Rights Museum honored her with its "Invisible Giant" Award.

Join us in honoring her and her impact at our Burger Bash celebration. 💙
