The National Juneteenth Museum, a project first formally announced last October but envisioned by 95-year-old activist, educator, and 2022 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Opal Lee for far much longer, is forging ahead with plans to build a 50,000-square-foot facility that will anchor a larger mixed-use development on the Historic Southside of Fort Worth, Texas. The design is by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with Douglass Alligood serving as partner in charge on the estimated $70 million project.
