Oprah Winfrey: Brewster Place
built 295 days ago
To celebrate her African heritage and to honor her cultural and political heroines of the civil rights era, Winfrey hosted the Legends Weekend; a televised ball that took place at her California home and was watched by 11 million viewers. Among the most prominent honorees were civil rights icons Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King who both died less than a year after being honored.

It's amazing that people would actually have the nerve to criticize Oprah for doing something so wonderful. Her heart really is in the right place. It's funny that these critics seems to forget all that she already gives to American charities. It's her money and her business what she does with it.
