• Racial Tension - Who's Behind Black Lives Matter?

Beyoncé has been the main protagonist of the 20th edition of the BET Awards , which this year were marked from start to finish by the demands of the Black Lives Matter movement . The music star received an honorary award from Michelle Obama , although virtually not being able to be celebrated in person by the coronavirus.

"I want to dedicate this award to all my brothers and sisters out there who have inspired me by protesting and fighting for change . Your voices are being heard. And you are showing our ancestors that their struggles were not in vain," said Beyoncé when collecting the award.

" We have one more thing we need to do to break in with our true power: vote . I encourage you to continue taking action, to continue to change and dismantle a racist and unequal system. (...) There are people who expect us to stay home during local elections and primaries ... We have to vote as if our life depended on it because it depends on it, "he added.

The BET Awards are the most important gala of African-American entertainment , so it was clear that this time they were going to echo the numerous and powerful anti-racist protests that in recent weeks have traveled the United States after the death at the hands of the Police of George Floyd.
