Ms.Debra Lee the CEO and Chairman of BET looked beautiful presenting the Humanitarian Award. I think its very important that she addressed that this summer marks the 50th anniversary of the civil rights act of 1964. She said "The government action that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion , or national origin. Signing that act took a pen but getting to that act took passion, patience, tears, blood, pride and lives. Segregation was a national scourge and groups of people many of whom were only in their twenties refused in different ways to allow America's future to look like its past. They made this countries shame a global story. One that brought attention to African American second class citizenship and courageous young people that refused that status. We are here on this stage tonight because that generation of citizens stood , sat, marched, and refused to move to make this country better". She presented the BET Award By StateFarm to Myrlie Evers Williams. Phylicia Rashad celebrated the illuminating light of both legendary woman Maya Angelou and Ruby Dee. Those two phenomenal women will never be forgotten. BET also took the time to remember stars whom have passed this year.
