Oprah gives tribute to Tessie Provost Williams
Oprah gave tribute to Tessie Prevost Williams, who died earlier this year. Williams was one of four Black girls who helped integrate New Orleans public schools in 1960.
She then tied Williams to Harris, saying Williams "paved the way for another young girl who, nine years later, became part of the second class to integrate the public schools in Berkeley, California.
"Harris famously reflected on her experience as a child being bused to school each day. During a spar with President Biden on the debate stage on busing, Harris told him: "That little girl was me."
