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]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.
