"Founded in 1967, the NAACP Image Awards were established by Toni Vaz to honor talented Black creatives and the producers who carved out spaces for them. The first ceremony was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. Over the decades, the awards have become a beacon of joy and excellence, expanding from modest programming on NBC to live broadcasts on Fox to its current home on BET. The theme of this year's broadcast, which will be hosted by Deon Cole, is fittingly "We See You.""
""The NAACP Image Awards is our declaration to our community that "We See You," affirming Black creativity, excellence, and humanity across every space where our stories are told," said Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP. "From film, television, and music to literature and beyond, the voices of all of our nominees tell stories that honor our past, celebrate our identity, and remind us that storytelling has the power to move culture forward.""
