2009 Trumpet Awards
About the Trumpet
Awards
Black men and women are a valuable resource to this country. Their
contributions and accomplishments, including the part they play
to ensure the continued vitality of the nation’s economy,
have become increasingly evident.
Originally presented
by Turner Broadcasting in 1993 and now presented by the Trumpet
Awards Foundation, Inc., the Trumpet Awards were created to herald
the accomplishments of Black Americans who have succeeded against
immense odds. Special recognition is given to the few, who symbolize
the many, who have overcome the ills of racism and poverty and
achieved special greatness.
The past award presentations
have been very successful and the future productions will continue
to enhance the level of excellence created by the first Trumpet
Awards.
