I saw Oprah give an acceptance speech for

The Cecil B. Demille Award. That's all.

I will admit that it was politically poignant, in a Hollywood Glitterati kind of way. But I saw better speeches by regular folks at the 2016 Democratic Convention. A young girl standing as champion for her undocumented immigrant mother comes to mind.

Oprah Winfrey is a great person, an American icon, and inspires many accolades. But we need someone who understands how to undo the damage that is being done. And then moves us forward.
