      Wonderful comment. I truly believe this is one of the greatest things Oprah has done. No matter how many times I watch this it still makes me cry buckets because I feel the love and importance of that moment and what each woman there means to everyone. I can just imagine how incredible it must have been to have actually been standing in that room at that moment. I would have used up a few rolls of tissue paper. Lol 😅😅😅😅😅😅.

    I am so crying right now; my mother is not a legend and she is not famous but she is so deserving of such an honor. I thank God for her vibrant spirit even in her 80s. I imagine her sitting in that audience because she deserves to be honored for all the love she has given and shown to me and my three sisters, her selfless sacrifices through the years, her unending support and the many trials and hardships that she has endured through the years and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, sustainer of us all. We are blessed to have a mother so beautiful in mind, body and spirit. "And her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren shall call her blessed". We speak your name...Olive (mom and matriarch of our family). We love you!

    Looking at this again brings tears to my eyes. So many of these legends are no longer here, but I’m so glad they got their flowers while they were still here. This was so beautifully done. 💐❤

      Cortni Kirk I still feel in that time frame she is still a legend to me. I'm almost 50 years old and she's old enough to be my mother. Phylicia has accomplished a lot within these decades on and off scene.
