Thursday, February 7, 2019 Oprah Winfrey BLACK HISTORY MONTH
On this day in 1986, Oprah Winfrey became the first African American woman to host a nationally syndicated talk show. Winfrey, was born in rural Mississippi and began her TV career as a local news anchor in Nashville and Baltimore before moving to Chicago in 1984 to host a low-rated morning talk program. She quickly turned the show into a ratings winner, beating out a popular talk program hosted by Phil Donahue. Two years later The Oprah Winfrey Show was broadcast nationally and went on to become the highest-rated talk show in TV history. The show was produced in Chicago from 1986 to 2011. Oprah Winfrey is considered one of the richest and most influential women in the United States and is known for being a media executive, actress, talk show host, and television producer. Winfrey is a generous supporter of education and has given away over $400 million to educational causes, including nearly 400 scholarships to Morehouse College, and more than $40 million in operating support for the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa. She s also given at least $10 million to A Better Chance. Its mission is to improve access to quality education for students of color, and has given $1 million or more to at least nine different charter school organizations in a number of different areas throughout the country.
