The mood was cheerful and lively at the 51st annual NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 22. Stars such as Yara Shahidi, Tracee Ellis Ross, Michael B. Jordan, and Janelle Monáe hit up the Los Angeles event to celebrate some of the trailblazing people of color in television, film, music, and literature. The program included performances by H.E.R. and Jill Scott, as well as a tribute to late NBA star Kobe Bryant.
Lizzo earned one of the biggest honors of the night, taking home the entertainer of the year award. "Every last one of you, you are the award," she said while accepting the trophy. "We are so special. We are such a beautiful people. This is just a reminder of all the incredible things that we can do. God bless you, and keep on being an award."
Another notable recipient was Rihanna, who received the President's Award that recognizes special achievement and distinguished public service.
