Chuck D, Danny Glover & More Honored at Inaugural Sankofa.org Social Justice Awards

A powerful celebration unfolds at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles as artists and activists come together for the inaugural Sankofa.org Social Justice Awards. Coinciding with what would have been Harry Belafonte's 99th birthday, the event honors his remarkable legacy while shining a spotlight on contemporary leaders dedicated to justice and change. Among the honorees are influential figures like Chuck D and Danny Glover, whose contributions to activism resonate across generations.

This meaningful night takes place in a historic venue—formerly A&M Studios—where Belafonte played a pivotal role in the iconic 1985 recording of “We Are the World.” The evening not only commemorates past achievements but also sparks renewed commitment to addressing social challenges. With heartfelt performances and inspiring speeches, the event celebrates the spirit of unity and the ongoing fight for equality.

In honoring those who challenge injustice, the Sankofa.org Awards emphasize the importance of collective efforts in shaping a more just world.
