\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe NAACP is thrilled for another great collaboration with TV One to create a momentous evening of entertainment culminating a day of volunteer service, citizen action, and celebration on the national holiday honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as recognizing this year\u2019s nominees for their hard work, perseverance and achievements in our community,\u201d<\/strong> stated Leon W. Russell, Chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors.\u00a0 \u201cAs the nation commemorates the 50th anniversary of Dr. King\u2019s assassination on April 4, 1968, we are reminded of the ageless principles of non-violence, truth and justice, humility, and service that he taught all Americans.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe NAACP Image Awards is the ultimate platform for artists and individuals of color who advocate for social justice to share their voices with millions, and to be recognized and celebrated,\u201d<\/strong> stated Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP. \u201cAt a moment where there seems to be one\u00a0tragic event after another in America, the NAACP Image Awards continues to be a beacon of light to the diversity reflected in television, music, film and literature that brings everyone together.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
