Last night on CNN, I announced that the NAACP will be awarding the President's Award to green jobs pioneer Van Jones at this year's NAACP Image Awards, set to broadcast this Friday on Fox.
Sign up now to get exclusive updates from the 41st Annual NAACP Image Awards on your mobile phone.
Van Jones embodies the spirit of the NAACP Image Awards -- an entrepreneurial spirit that comes with a sense of social responsibility. His plan to retool the American economy by creating millions of new "green collar" jobs is groundbreaking, not only because it opens up a new sector of American industry, but also because it does so in a way that creates jobs and protects the environment.
Since 1970, the NAACP Image Awards have celebrated the best in African American Arts and Culture. It is an awards ceremony that honors the aspirations and dreams of all Americans, told from an African American perspective. The President's Award has traditionally honored those whose achievements in public life have been game changing. Recent honorees have included Muhammad Ali, Ruby Dee and President Bill Clinton.
Please be sure to tune in to the live broadcast this Friday, February 26, on FOX at 8:00pm Eastern / 7:00pm Central, where I will present the President's Award to Van Jones. You will also get a chance to see Tyler Perry, Mo'Nique, Morgan Freeman, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Regina King, Taraji P. Henson and other leaders of the entertainment world walk the red carpet. And do not miss out on exclusive mobile updates -- sign up for our mobile updates now.
Sincerely,
