I love Habitat for Humanity gesture of generosity for Opal Lee.

People sometimes forget that Texas was very much a part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. People like to forget (or don't want to know) that the Battle of the Alamo was fought over the issue of slavery.
-
Good luck, Opal. You've finally come home😊

Someone could’ve helped her out that truck.

Thank you Ms. Lee for your work! You have brought the light to a dark world and to see the full circle work of another good soul like President Jimmy Carter, who loved Habitat for Humanity, CBS has blessed us all with this story. The head of Habitat honored not only you, President Carter, and his dear wife Rosalyn who was right by his side with the construction of countless homes across the country, but it is a beacon of hope for those who deserve the respect of living in their communities without fear of being red-lined or being priced out beyond their abilities to even own a home. God bless you all!🙏
