I Missed This Episode Of ‘Oprah’ About Racism Because I Was In 1st Grade In 1992. Luckily, YouTube.

When I was a kid, I thought “Oprah” was just about celebrities. As I teenager, I realized it was all about transformation, including that of Oprah’s hair. This episode is a raw discussion of racism. And if you’re pressed for time, it gets really real at 4:02. Also, ’90s hair!
