Oprah Calls For Day When No One Has To Say 'Me Too' During Golden Globes Speech

Oprah Winfrey assured women and girls everywhere that time is up for men in power who have silenced them during her history-making speech at the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards .

The media mogul who holds many titles, including actress, TV host, producer, author and philanthropist became the first black woman to receive the Cecil B. DeMille award during Sundays ceremony. During her acceptance speech, Winfrey recalled sitting on her the floor in her childhood home watching Sidney Poitier become the first black person to win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Id never seen a black man being celebrated like that. And I tried many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats as my mom came through the door bone-tired from cleaning other peoples houses, she recalled. In 1982, Sidney received the Cecil B. DeMille award right here at the Golden Globe awards and it is not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given this same award.
