Popular Influence

Oprah uses her television program as a pulpit to support the poor and the disenfranchised while also entertaining and informing America. In two short decades she has made herself an indispensible member of the American household. The launch of “Oprah’s Book Club” in 1996 increased book sales and launched titles she featured to the top of the sales list. Oprah’s choices often featured literary genius that may have been overlooked amidst the more popular novel choices.
