Opal Lee, the 97-year-old Texan known for her push to make Juneteenth a national holiday, was given the keys Friday to her new home, which was built on the same tree-lined corner lot in Fort Worth that her family was driven from by a racist mob when she was 12.

Validation is when you finish a keynote speech and students from Morehouse College approach you to say, “thank you, I’m studying education as well.” Representation matters. @Morehouse
Tell me it’s the end of the school year without telling me it’s the end of the school year. #onemoreday
Thank you @WillieETCarver for helping kick off Pride Month in style. Your words are healing, protective and illuminating. #pridemonth
If you are in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend come to this free event open to the public. Author, advocate and teacher of the year @WillieETCarver will be doing an author event, book signing and Q&A. Hope to see you all there! #pridemonth
Food is the ultimate connector. The best way to know a culture. Our Asian student picnic brought together food from across Asia and was a source of pride, connection and joy.
It was an honor to meet @taaforg CEO Norman Chen at the White House AAPI reception. The work that TAAF does to elevate AAPI voices and call out America’s blind spots is critical. Thank you! @normanlschen @taaforg
Thank you @WhiteHouse for honoring the AAPI community with an incredible event yesterday. It was a joy to see so many remarkable AAPI leaders from across the country in one space. #AAPIHeritageMonth
The Teacher of the Year program creates intense bonds. @msrivera114 and I happened to be in DC and @FosterLovesEdu came by for a mini reunion. I am so grateful to know these two incredible educators.

Hey Wisconsin! Kismet Books is sponsoring an author event with the great @WillieETCarver celebrating Pride Month. This will be an unforgettable opportunity to hear from an incredible teacher, writer and advocate. The event is free and open to the public. See you there!
Thank you @WEAC for supporting educators and for honoring me with the Richard Lewandowski Humanitarian Award. Raising Asian American visibility in education has been an incredibly humbling and fulfilling journey.
I can’t believe the people we have to fear come from our own community. @davidchang @momofuku stop destroying small AAPI businesses by trying to trademark “chili crunch.”
Hey @momofuku, I hear you're bullying businesses over use of the term 'chili crunch'. As Chief Content Officer of MiLa, I propose a blind taste test of both our 'chili crunch' sauces. Winner keeps the name, loser (it'll be you) backs off.
Game on? ;)

Such an important conversation about truth and honesty.

My students are my hope. Seeing my AAPI kids advocate for change has been the best part of this new law passing. Thank you @wmtv15news for coming out to Verona!

Dawn Staley is one of the most accomplished humans to walk this planet, and she continues to carry herself and her team with such class and dignity. Congratulations to her and South Carolina on an epic season.

In celebration of our new @CCSSO 2024 National Teacher of the Year we honor the amazing 2022 NTOY @kurtsenior_ today. Congrats to Missy! @Missytesterman @JessicaSaum @2022FloridaTOY @KellyShrein
We did it. Wisconsin is now the sixth state to require Asian American/Hmong American history. It was so much fun celebrating this momentous day with the coalition of people that made this momentous day possible. @StateRepHong @GovEvers @RepShankland
Congratulations @Missytesterman!! I know that you will do a fabulous job representing teachers!
Congratulations to teacher of the year, @Missytesterman, a long-time elementary school teacher in Rogersville, Tennessee.
She says she loves getting “to unlock the love of learning in students” — and gets some very special surprises from her former students.
