All you need to do is know who you are.”Winfrey said that while growing up her grandmother, a servant in 1950s Mississippi, hoped that Winfrey would “get some good white folks” to work for.

“I regret that she didn’t live past 1963 and see that I did get some really good white folks — working for me,” said.
