The BET Awards announced this week that Beyoncé will be honored with their prestigious Humanitarian Award at Sunday’s 20th annual show.

The superstar singer and actress will receive the award in recognition of her BeyGOOD initiative, through which she has established several scholarship and philanthropic foundations.

The BET Awards, which honor Black excellence in entertainment and sports, coincide with an ongoing cultural reckoning with racial injustice and police brutality.

“We need something to brighten us up, to uplift us,” BET Award nominee Karen Clark Sheard, member of the legendary gospel group The Clark Sisters, said about the timing of Sunday’s show in an interview with CNN this week.

The BET Awards will air Sunday on BET and CBS beginning at 8 p.m. EST.
