Beyoncé Receives Humanitarian Award At 2020 BET Awards

Beyoncé was honored with the Humanitarian Award at the 20th annual BET Awards Sunday.

At the network’s first virtual award show amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Michelle Obama presented the decorated artist with the award, stating that Bey “has been lighting up the stages and gracing the world with her talent, with her generosity of spirit and with her love for her community.”

Beyoncé dedicated the award to the protesters “marching and fighting for change” in a prerecorded video statement, saying they inspired her.

The “Lemonade” artist then implored them to vote in this year’s elections.

We have to vote like our life depended on it because it does.”
