Oprah Is Set To Host A ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ Special On OWN

On the heels of George Floyd’s death and the protests that have been going on for days, Oprah Winfrey is set to host a Where Do We Go From Here? town hall.

Per Rolling Stone, OWN Spotlight: Where Do We Go From Here? will be a two-night special with various leaders to explore what is next for America and the world.

As Oprah explains in a statement, “I’ve been having private conversations with friends and thought leaders about what’s next and where we go from here. I thought it would be both of interest and service to bring their ideas, concerns, and comments into a national spotlight.”

According to Rolling Stone, set to appear are the following: “Politician Stacey Abrams, journalist Charles M. Blow, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, professor and author Jennifer Eberhardt, journalist and founder of the ‘1619 Project’ Nikole Hannah-Jones, historian and author Ibram Kendi, actor David Oyelowo, Color of Change founder Rashad Robinson and NAACP national board member Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.”
