Highlights Of The NAACP Image Awards. Benjamin Crump gave the most riveting speech. Attorney Crump accepted the Social Justice Impact Award Saturday night., as reported by BET.
His speech spoke to the hearts of the audience. And, his work speaks for itself. If there was ever a champion for our cause, it’s Crump. Of course, his tireless efforts against social injustice are admirable.
However, there were other big winners. This prestigious award recognizes the arts, entertainment, and culture of African Americans. And, during the 54th NAACP Image awards fans were not disappointed.
In the category of “Entertainer of the Year”, there were Angela Bassett, Mary J Blige, Quinta Brunson, Viola Davis, and Zendaya. Needless to say, Angela Bassett won.
An unexpected winner emerged in the “Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture” category. It was non-other than Will Smith. He won for his portrayal in “Emancipation.”
