The Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board wrote that Opal Lee's life is a testament to the power of optimism and service.
"She is proof that power comes in many forms, including a one-time teacher whose main tools were activism and persistence. Lee survived a horrific racist attack on her family and endured decades of segregation. Where many would have succumbed to anger or even hopelessness, Lee went to work. She teaches lessons the world needs badly right now: How love can prevail over apathy and even bitterness. That one person can change minds and hearts. That patience and dedication can fuel remarkable progress in the course of one lifetime."
