Some of the biggest stars, including Cynthia Erivo, Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldaña, hit the red carpet for the 56th NAACP Image Awards on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.

With awards season in full effect, many of the industry’s biggest and brightest descended on cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta to celebrate Black excellence.

In her first TV appearance since leaving office, our MVP, Kamala Harris, delivered a moving speech at the NAACP Image Awards that left social media reflecting on the kind of energy we could have had in the White House instead of what we are currently dealing with.
