Walk Recap ☆

On Wednesday, June 19, we hosted the first EVER International Opal’s Walk for Freedom. Almost 100 participants walked 2.5 km around the Imperial Palace, to honor the 2.5 years it took for news of emancipation to reach the enslaved people in Texas and to mark history in not only Japan, but in the world.

Our walk and Dr. Lee’s visit to Japan was even featured on TBS News! Watch us below:
