It’s time for a conversation about how we got to the America we are now and the country we hope it can be. @isabelwilkerson and I will dive deep into the 8 pillars of caste outlined in the book.

This was our big treat EVERY DAY this summer. Thanks to @zairah. Hate to see the end of summer and homemade popsicles.

August 28 holds a special residence in our culture. Over the course of 100 years, many pivotal moments have happened on this day. Historic events like the murder of Emmett Till, the March on Washington, Motown’s first number one record, Hurricane Katrina, and @barackobama’s acceptance speech as the first Black Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America all occurred on August 28. There’s no better time to amplify this date than our current culture-shifting moment. Join me, @ava, and @real_sharpton tomorrow for an special, “Culture Connection & August 28” at 1 p.m. on @OWNTV or on my Facebook page at 2 p.m. ET.

Jacob Blake. As his sister, Letetra Wideman, so eloquently said: When you , say all of them. Here we are again, demanding justice for yet another Black man. Something’s got to change. What will it take?

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women – although not all women – the right to vote. In honor of those who fought and continue to fight for our rights, I’m announcing that November 3rd, Election Day, will be a company holiday at @owntv. This will give my team the necessary time to put on their masks, get to the polls, cast their ballots, and volunteer. I challenge other companies to do the same because this might be the most important election of our lives. Together we can overcome all obstacles in order to exercise our right to vote. Follow @ownyourvote for more updates this election season 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In this moment we hold the potential to move our culture forward in ways we never imagined. Bryan Stevenson, founder and director of @eji_org, joins me this week on @theoprahconversation to talk about how accountability for our past can help us embrace a better future.

@greenleafown all started with my intention to make a TV show about the Black church. We wanted to show a Black church family in an aspirational and inspirational way. We wanted to show that there’s not just one way to be Black. Not everyone is the same. We have a wide range of experiences within our community. The characters and actors on this show did that in their own way for five whole seasons. So to the actors, writers, creators, producers, crew, and fans: Take your bow. We did that. I know Aunt Mavis is raising a glass to y’all in her jazz bar in Sweden 🥂

The last time I spoke to Breonna Taylor’s mom, Tamika Palmer, she was having a particularly bad day dealing with the loss of her daughter. She told me, “I can’t stop seeing her face. Her smile. It’s what I miss most about her…I’m still waiting for her to come through the door.” Everybody who’s lost a loved one knows that feeling. For every mother and father whose child is out in the world right now, imagine getting a call in the middle of the night that your daughter has been shot in her apartment. And then you find out the people who killed her were police officers who should never have been there in the first place. What would you want to happen now? Would you be content to hear five months later “there’s an investigation”? And that no one has been held accountable for shooting your innocent daughter multiple times and letting her life bleed out? If not for the coronavirus, I’d be out in the streets marching with the Black Lives Matter protesters. These 26 billboards, one for every year of Breonna’s life, are my offering. My form of protest. We cannot be silent. We have to use whatever megaphone we have to cry for justice.
