At this year’s Golden Globes, Oprah won the Cecil B. DeMille Award and gave an empowering acceptance speech. She told the heart-wrenching story of Recy Taylor, a black woman beat and raped by 6 white men in 1944. Recy died just 10 days before the award ceremony. However, Oprah pointed out “she lived as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men. For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up.” By the end of her passionate dialogue, the whole room was on its feet! In another victory for women, Oprah won the HPFA’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This makes her the first black female recipient.
