NEW YORK — Civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton has chosen a few entertainment powerhouses as the recipients of this year’s National Action Network Triumph Awards.
Grammy and recent Oscar winner Questlove, who’s also the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” bandleader, will be honored alongside Hollywood producer Will Packer and music executive Towalame Austin at the Sept. 28 ceremony held at Jazz At Lincoln Center.
“The Triumph Awards is a cultural event that recognizes influencers for their ongoing work within their communities to promote social, racial and economic justice in America, and who have positively impacted our society above and beyond their performance by bridging their celebrity with their community,” Sharpton said about the 12th annual fete, which is free and open to the public.
