On March 27th, we will honor #BlackExcellence at the 52nd NAACP Image Awards. This is our night to honor our very best and brightest, like only we can—because this is where BLACK EXCELLENCE lives!
WHERE DOES BLACK EXCELLENCE LIVE?
Born out of the civil rights movement, Black excellence continues to be a way to progress, to rise up and prosper. It is a mindset that lives in all of us, one where stand on the shoulders of those who came before and calls us to blaze a new trail for ourselves and future generations. Through the NAACP Image Awards, we honor black voices, black trailblazers, black innovators and black risk takers on one prestigious night of excellence.
As we collectively shift the eyes of the world to #BlackExcellence in honor of the NAACP Image Awards, BET is creating a uniformed demonstration of unity, impact and solidarity starting 24 hours before the awards are given out. To be a part of it, simply change your profile picture to purple on social media and declare your own black excellence on March 26th at 8PM.
