One Woman
Oprah Winfrey, long ago a poor 4-
year-old girl in rural Mississippi, would
watch her grandmother boil clothes in
a big pot through the screen door.
"Girl, you better watch me because
you're going to have to learn to do
this," her grandmother scolded.
"No, Grandma, I won't," thought
Winfrey, but wouldn't dare speak her
feelings. "I am better than this."
And she still is better than that. How
fitting that Winfrey would cross paths
with the Weizmann Institute of
Science. Both the institution and the
talk-show host have dedicated them-
selves to doing something better,
improving the welfare of humanity.
The Chicago Region of the
American Committee for the
Weizmann Institute of Science, an
Israel-based world center of medical
and health research and graduate edu-
cation, crossed Winfrey's path this
October. It saluted the television talk-
show queen at a gala dinner at the
Sheraton Chicago Hotel for her "com-
passionate vision of community,"
according to William Novick, nation-
al vice president of the Weizmann
Institute.
Weizmann is creating the
Oprah Winfrey Fund for
Biomedical Research in
honor of her commit-
ment to health and the
well being of all people.
The fund will support an
array of research in dis-
eases such as cancer, mul-
tiple sclerosis, diabetes,
arthritis, AIDS, Parkinson's
and Alzheimer's, as well as on
women's health, conception
and fetal development.
Famed Chicago restaurateur and
dinner chair Richard Melman corn-
pared Winfrey to Weizmann by say-
ing, "She works on the spirit the way
Weizmann works on the physical."
Her influence has transcended the
television world. Winfrey has devot-
ed energies to publishing, music,
film, philanthropy, education, health

Israel's Weizmann Institute has been
named in her honor.

and fitness and social awareness.
Some of Winfrey's devotion to the
welfare of others — channeled through
her Emmy-winning television talk
show, which has aired for 14 seasons
— stemmed from a trip to Israel.
Several years ago, Winfrey visited Yad
Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in
Jerusalem. She stood in the museum
"chilled," she explained to the
Weizmann gala crowd of more than
2,000 people. She had heard and read
the stories before, but being there
"changed the trajectory of my life expe-
rience."
"I found it hard to be in that place, in
that museum, and to allow myself as a
human being to understand what one
man — Hider — could do." How could
just one person so alter an entire people,
Winfrey asked herself at the time.
"The answer for me was, if one man
could garner the forces to kill 6 million
Jews, what could one African American
woman do with a talk show?" Winfrey
said. "So I came back, as everyone does
who has that experience, willing to be
changed."
