Trumpet Awards Airs April 8 on TV One

Not every Atlantan was able to attend the 20th Annual Trumpet Awards at the downtown Hyatt or the various events leading up to the big night.

However, almost every Atlantan, who wants to, can watch the event on television this coming April.

The Trumpet Awards airs 8 p.m. Sun., April 8, on TV One.

The Trumpet Awards program was created to celebrate and honor African-American achievement in diverse fields.

Southwest Atlanta resident Xernona Clayton is the Founder, President and CEO of the Trumpet Awards Foundation, Inc. and Creator and Executive Producer of the Foundation’s Trumpet Awards.

Initiated in 1993 by Turner Broadcasting, the Trumpet Awards has been televised annually and distributed internationally to over 185 countries around the world.

Many southwest Atlantans were involved in behind-the-scenes management of the nationally-acclaimed awards show.
