“OPAL: Spirit of a Woman” is the story of Mary Opal Fetters/George; a courageous woman who lost her mother to childbirth at the tender age of seven, was sold into bondage by a father who no longer wanted her…and forced into child labor in another state for many years. In spite of all the odds stacked against her—she championed a legacy of grace. This is her true story.
