Rihanna conveyed a ground-breaking discourse subsequent to tolerating the NAACP Image Awards' 2020 President's Award, which the vocalist got for her numerous magnanimous endeavors. “Tonight is not really about me, because the purpose is bigger than me, right?”


Rihanna said during her three-minute discourse. “It’s not bigger than us together, but it’s bigger than me, because my part is a very small part of the work that is being done in this world and the work that is yet to be done.”

In 2012, Rihanna established the Clara Lionel Foundation, a non-benefit association named after her grandma that “funds groundbreaking education and emergency preparedness and response programs around the world.” The artist has raised millions for the establishment thanks to some degree to her yearly Diamond Ball occasion.

"On the off chance that there's anything I've taken in, it's that we can just fix this world together. We can't do it partitioned. I can not accentuate that enough. We can't let the desensitivity leak in. The ‘If it’s your problem, then it’s not mine.’ ‘It’s a woman’s problem.' It’s a black people problem.’  ‘It’s a poor people problem,’” Rihanna proceeded.

“How many of us in this room have colleagues and partners and friends from other races, sexes, religions? Show of hands? They want to break bread with you, right? They like you? Well then, this is their problem too. So when we’re marching and protesting and posting about the Michael Brown Jrs and the Atatiana Jeffersons of the world, tell your friends to pull up.”

American Oxygen (2015) by Rihanna

As the primary opening notes play, Rihanna is seen strolling up the stairs of City Hall with a star radiant flag swinging from the curve. The following picture is, strikingly, Barack Obama being sworn into vow. The video keeps on exchanging between clasps of Rihanna singing—with that old red and blue proceeding to wave behind her—and rather captivating shots of what most Americans would characterize as "America."

There is a substantial spotlight on Martin Luther King Jr., remarkably his memorial service toward the finish of the video, and the battles of African Americans all through the United States' history.

Be that as it may, it doesn't single out this sole bit of America's past. There is a dose of several workers riding the highest point of a train; pictures of pleased space explorers and rockets propelling into space; there are bull riders, the Beatles enthusiastically leaving from a plane; the financial exchange amidst the day and crowds with signs clamoring to "occupy Wall Street"; there are shots of vagrants in the city and football players catching a touchdown at last zone.

Clasps of the Twin Towers smoking on September eleventh, is even spotted all through the video.
