ESSENCE AWARDS 2002 -- June 6th
For the last 15 years Essence Magazine has honored our stars -- the celebrities and the everyday women and men whose courage, art and activism have transformed our communities. To mark its 15th anniversary, the Essence Awards celebrates "Excellence in Entertainment and the Arts." Steve Harvey returns to host the ceremony on May 31 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. Honorees include Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, India.Arie, James "Jimmy Jam" Harris & Terry Lewis, Terry McMillan, Kenny Gamble and Cathy Hughes. And Janet Jackson will be honored with the first-ever "Entertainer of the Year Award," chosen by more than 35,000 readers of ESSENCE magazine through a national reader's poll conducted on Essence.com.
The show will air on Fox TV on June 6.
