Over the years, John Legend, Alicia Keys and Chance the Rapper have been given the honor; Nipsey Hussle received the Humanitarian Award in 2019. "I am here today to talk about the queen. You know the one," Obama began.
"She's always turning up, looking out, and making us all a little bigger, better, a little more fierce. And she's doing it all, while staying devoted to her children and the loved ones she holds dear. So to my girl, I just want to say, you inspire me. You inspire all of us, which is why I am so proud to name Beyonce the 2020 BET Awards' Humanitarian of the Year honoree," Obama concluded."Congratulations, girl. Love you so much.
"Your voices are being heard, and you are proving to our ancestors at their struggles were not in vain. Now, we have one more thing we need to do to walk in our true power and that is to vote. I'm encouraging you to continue to take action, continue to change and dismantle a racist and unequal system.
Bey has also been supporting those in need during the coronavirus pandemic. She and her mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, teamed up for the #IDIDMYPART mobile testing initiative to encourage residents in Houston in Black and brown communities, to get tested for coronavirus, especially as they are disproportionately affected by the disease. She has also donated to support organizations on the ground helping to meet basic health and mental needs in vulnerable communities affected by the crisis.
