Oprah Speaks At Howard Commencement
posted 7:06 pm Sat May 12, 2007 - Washington
Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has been awarded an honorary doctorate in humanities by historically black Howard University.
Winfrey says she's received many awards but there's nothing better than being honored by your own.
She spoke to a crowd estimated at more than 30,000 at Howard's commencement Saturday.
Winfrey urged graduates to maintain their integrity. She said "Do not be a slave to any form of selling out."
Oprah says her success comes from knowing herself and following her dream.
