Time's person of the year is "The Silence Breakers" of #MeToo movement

"The Silence Breakers" of the #MeToo movement, who gave a voice to sexual assault and harassment survivors — and showed them that they are not alone — is Time's 2017 Person of the Year, the magazine revealed exclusively Wednesday morning on "Today." While the concept of #MeToo was started years ago by activist Tarana Burke, its use became part of the national conversation in October in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Burke told Time that, “I think it's really powerful that this transfer is happening, that these women are able not just to share their shame but to put the shame where it belongs: on the perpetrator."
