Oprah Winfrey had a sad childhood. She was born January 29, 1954. Oprah grew up in poverty in rural Mississippi to a single teenage mother. She later was raised in inner-city Milwaukee. But at a young age she was molested and became pregnant at age 14. Her baby died in infancy. But this did not hold her back.

Her Start

Oprah first started as a news anchor and reporter for Baltimore's WJZ-TV in 1976. After attending Tennessee State University she got a job at WLAC-TV. As both the youngest anchor, and first black female anchor. But on September 8, 1986, The Oprah Winfrey show aired on national television for the first time.

Oprah's School

In 2007 Oprah opened a school to help people in South Africa. Oprah named the school Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for girls. This school was made for grades 8-12. When the school opened 3500 female students applied. But 152 got accepted though. Also the school was not doing to well because 7 students got suspended for doing inappropriate things to other students. The school is now really good. It is still open today.
