Oprah Is More Than An Entertainer, As A New Show At The Smithsonian Makes Clear

The Museum of African American History and Culture is about to open a show that focuses on how Oprah became a go-to leader for political as well as cultural discussions. Some might have questions about this exhibit, however: “Winfrey donated $21 million to the $540 million museum, making her its largest individual benefactor (its theater is named in her honor). But her role as benefactor did not influence the exhibition, Bunch said.”
