Graduation Day at Oprah's Academy for Girls


It's been four long years, and not without its share of scandals [click here if you missed that], but the first class has graduated from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa...

72 of the 75 original girls have graduated and 100% of them are headed to universities in South Africa and the United States.

“We’re taking a victory lap here, for transformation,” Winfrey told the AP. “Every single girl is going to leave here with something greater to offer the world than her body.”
