BET is introducing its newest effort "BET Honors," an evening dedicated to recognizing the achievements and contributions of distinguished African American leaders in their fields.
Hosted by Cedric "The Entertainer," the event will celebrate and recognize Alicia Keys (Entertainment), Tyra Banks (Media), Dr. Cornel West (Inspirational/Education), Richard Parsons (Corporate), the Honorable Maxine Waters (Government) and CEO Janice Bryant Howroyd (Entrepreneur).
The inaugural event will take place at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Jan. 12, and premiere on the network on Friday, Feb. 22 at 8 p.m., ET/PT. Additional presenters and performers will be announced shortly.
"We are thrilled to present the first-ever "BET Honors" and pay tribute to the thinkers, trailblazers and trendsetters whose accomplishments serve as inspirations for current and future generations," said Debra Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, BET Networks.
"Each of these remarkable individuals has made significant contributions to the black community and American culture overall, and BET Networks is proud to recognize them through this very special, new tentpole event," Lee continues. "We've done a number of significant shows in other cities, but what better place to honor these individuals than in our home city of Washington, D.C."
