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

Author Andrea Swindall - Pop Culture Writer
June 5th, 2020 2:04 PM

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.

"Where do we go from here?" @oprah is sitting down with Black thought leaders to guide us all in conversation and create plans for our future. Join us Tuesday and Wednesday at 9|8c for a two-night #OWNSpotlight special.

Welcome back to Instagram. Sign in to check out what your friends, family & interests have been capturing & sharing around 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.”

OWN Spotlight: Where Do We Go From Here? will air on the OWN network on June 9th and 10th at 9 p.m. ET.
