This is the single most beautiful moment I have ever experienced.

I want that poem.
Oprah, you should release this on DVD, the uncut version.

Lots of folks have emailed me for information on the poem, "We Speak Your Name," which Pearl Cleage wrote for Oprah's recent bash honoring black women. I have contacted Miz Pearl and received this response:
you can tell folks the poem will be excerpted in the oprah magazine in august and plans to publish it are in the works. :-)
So there you have it.

We Speak Your Names", the poem I wrote for Oprah Winfrey's Legends Weekend last year, is now in bookstores! There is also an audio version from Black Stone Audio, which I recorded with an introduction and biographical information about the women who were honored as Oprah's legends. The weekend (and the poem!) will be featured on a special May 16, on ABC-TV at 8 p.m. I thank all of you who wrote me about the poem and I appreciate your patience! Enjoy the special!
Peace!

I just want to thank Oprah for all she has done for women everywhere.
I agree with her when she talked about honoring people BEFORE they are gone.
