Harvard Commencement speech 2013 | Oprah Winfrey
Transcript
This is a transcript of Oprah's speech starting at 21:43 where she talks about the importance of having face-to-face conversations with people whom you may disagree.
And even though this is the college where Facebook was born, my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.
That you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view.
And help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people.
This is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation.
There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light.
