In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and various sexual harassment allegations, the Golden Globes allowed for the setting of protest through voice, pins, and fashion.

Across the red carpet, women stood in solidarity while wearing black. The Time's Up legal initiative inspired attendees to stand alongside both men and women who have been silenced by discrimination, harassment or abuse. Celebrities at the event donned black gowns that emphasized their bold statement. Hundreds of entertainment stars blasted the message across social media. This simple yet impactful act alone set an empowering tone for the evening.

However, the stirring did not stop there. Oprah Winfrey later took the stage as the recipient of the Cecil B. de Mille Award. Winfrey then brought down the house with an uplifting speech that addressed the inequality among race and gender.

During, Winfrey told the story of African American Recy Taylor. Taylor's story made national headlines in 1944 when she was abducted and raped by six white men. In the era of Jim Crow, Taylor's fight for justice was unsuccessful and the men were let go.

"For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men," Winfrey said, as applause erupted around the room. "But their time is up. Their time is up."

Winfrey's telling of this event not only shows a prime example of injustice, but also her fight alongside individuals like Recy. Simply, she spoke up for those who have been silenced. It is a call to action.

Winfrey spoke volumes, using her platform to enact change. Her rouse of emotions allowed for all in attendance to connect in one way or another. Her speech has gathered much support on Twitter with supporters wanting Winfrey for president.

With three standing ovations, Winfrey concluded using these lasting words,

"I want all the girls watching, here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say 'Me too' again."
