When Stacey Abrams was running for Gov of GA, I engaged with a young Black woman at a restaurant who told me she is from GA.

When I told her Stacey was the first woman of color to represent a major political party in a race for gov of a state, no reaction. Like "meh..."

When I told her Oprah endorsed Stacey, her eyes got about the size of dinner plates and she reverently whispered "Oprah?"

I don't get it. Oprah is great, too, but come on!

I'm not a fan, but she is a very successful Black woman. It was just stunning to me how the woman I spoke with was so taken with even Oprah's name, but no apparent respect for Stacey running for gov.

I also discovered that he went to the same high school (several years later) as Jimi Hendrix.

What is the source of that? Please link. Thanks.
