French anti-racism activist Assa Traoré will be honored with the BET International Global Good Award during this weekend's international airing of the BET Awards. Details:
"This award is an acknowledgement of four years of struggle," says Traoré."They won’t erase my little brother’s name, this award will make his name resonate even louder."
Since the death of her brother Adama in 2016 while in police custody, Traoré has worked to uncover the truth about his death, hold police accountable, and advocate for Black lives through the "Justice for Adama" movement. "Since her brother Adama was asphyxiated to death in a police station on his 24th birthday in 2016, Traoré has been leading the fight to find out the truth about what happened to her brother," BET said. "Adama’s death, having been compared to the recent death of George Floyd, has sparked protests all across France, and Assa has worked tirelessly to shine a light on racial injustice and police brutality.
