Birthplace of Oprah Winfrey The birthplace of Oprah is just a large sign in front of a small, overgrown lot. But the church where she first performed for an audience still stands.
The site is actually a little over 2 miles from town. [eric, 09/15/2011]
Oprah Winfrey's Birthplace Home where she was born and lived until age six. If you've read
her book or heard her talk about it, this is where a lot of her child
molestation traumas took place. Looking at this house, it's hard to believe
that America's soon-to- be first African-American Billionaire lived HERE. A
message of hope. [Gigi Tanksley, 10/20/2000]
