Black Entertainment Television has chosen some of today's most influential celebrities and artists to participate in a new special 'BET 30: Moments And Movements.'
The two-hour show includes big-names like Michael Jordan, Vanessa Williams, Magic Johnson, Bob Johnson, Tyra Banks, Donnie Simpson, Pharrell, El Debarge, and Wyclef Jean providing personal narratives about 30 of the most significant and powerful movements and moments for the past 30 years.So much of the special's significance lies in the thirty people chosen to share their candid narratives and provide retrospectives on the impact of these moments and movements.
Jay-Z, who just released his New York Times best-seller 'Decoded,' will explore how hip-hop has become big business. Melodie Homer, the widow of one of the pilots of Flight 93 will discuss the September 11 attacks. Rodney King will share his perspective on police brutality in America.
Some other notable moments include President Barack Obama's political career, the crack and HIV/AIDS epidemic, and the effect 'The Cosby Show' has had on how blacks identify family dynamics.
'BET 30: Moments And Movements' will premiere on Dec.19 at 8 pm EST on BET.

Rodney King is "one of today's most influential celebrities and artists to participate in a new special 'BET 30: Moments And Movements.' " What a great culture, that King is seen as a celebrity and would give his perspective on any topic. He is one of the most disgusting animal on the face of the earth and BET is celebrating him.

I agree. Why don't "Bad Entertainment Television" show how they went from an informative Afro-centric television channel that built up the black community, to a schuck and jive, wannbe MTV station that uses the negative aspects of the black community to make money. BET went from the soulful sounds of Video Soul and tackling the issues surrounding teens and young adults of Teen Summit, to the minstrel 106 and Park, where its perfectly OK for little kids to run around sagging their jeans or dressing up in skimpy clothes looking like prostitutes! And why don't Jay-Z show how mainstream Hip Hop went from an art form where rap skills were paramount to a genre where rap skills are not important, just "look cool" or "look like a ho"
How can a channel so great become so garbage in 30 years? SMH!

Those cops should have beaten that idiot Rodney King more!!! He is a disgrace for BM...crying and whining when he got beat for driving recklessly. IF he did the crime then he should have been man enough to take on those pigs instead saying that weak ass "can't we all just git along" crap...
