The 66-year-old media mogul will host and executive produce “OWN Spotlight: Oprah And 100 Black Fathers” on June 30, where she will speak to Black fathers about parenting in wake of the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement sparked by the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
During the special, the Black fathers will open up about how they are managing this moment and speaking to their children about police brutality and the impact of racial injustice.
“I am honored to bring this conversation to light so we might better understand the emotional toll Black fathers endure, and how they continue to show up for their children, their family and the community,” Winfrey said in a statement.
“In this special, Black fathers will share their personal stories and feelings in this moment and the hope they have for their families’ futures.”
“OWN Spotlight: Oprah and 100 Black Fathers” will air Tuesday, June 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on OWN and streaming for free on the Watch OWN app beginning at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
