Houston, TX was all up and through the house at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards. So much history was made on this beautiful night within the Black community.
Singer/songwriter Beyoncé Knowles, “Broke the record for all-time wins by a woman and any singer male or female with 28 Grammy’s when she snagged the best R & B performance for ‘Black Parade,'” CNN stated.
She said in her acceptance speech, “As an artist I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times and it’s been such a difficult. So I wanted to uplift, encourage and celebrate all of the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world.”
Just before the Awards aired, Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter won the category of best music video award for “Brown Skin Girl”.
