On Saturday, March 30th the NAACP will honor Jay-Z at the 50th Image Awards. The music mogul will receive the 2019 NAACP President’s Award which is given “in recognition of a special achievement and distinguished public service,” a press release said.

The annoucement comes on the wake of the rapper’s classic album The Blueprint”being recently added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry earlier this month.

Jay-Z will be recognized by the NAACP for his social justice work. He formed the Reform Alliance with Meek Mill to address prison reform, and he co-produced the 2017 docuseries “Time: The Kalief Browder Story,”. Jay-Z was also behind the docuseries Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story. He recently helped rapper 21 Savage with legal representation when he was detained by ICE.

Past recipients include Danny Glover, Spike Lee, Lauryn Hill, Ella Fitzgerald, John Legend, and others.

The Image Awards, hosted by Anthony Anderson, will telecast live.
