It should have been Oprah in the Color Purple, but the correct answer is Halle Berry. This was just recent too.
It makes you think that the woman's or the black movement wasnt that long ago. It is easy to forget when you dont look at life like that. Im proud to be a woman today. but it is still troubling to know that men get paid more for doing the same job as me simply because their men. The same goes for a black woman who does the same job as a white and gets paid less. Dont think this isnt true. You know this still happens.
Im sorry your question brought some issues up that needed to be saud.
