Go #TeamUsher!

Usher sauntered down the red carpet before being celebrated for helping young people all over the world develop leadership skills.

“To travel all around the world and get awards for music is really great, but to be able to be recognized for the work from your heart is even better,” said Raymond.

He is one of the 10 philanthropists that were honored at the 20th Annual Freedom Awards hosted by the National Civil Rights Museum.

Raymond says he started Usher’s New Look Foundation because of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. first stood for. “All the sacrifices that were made for us to have these rights were not in vain.”

Winner of seven Grammys, six American Music Awards and 22 Billboard Music Awards, Usher said those awards do not compare to being honored for leadership.

“You have the opportunity to be recognized for what you do in music, but when you’re being recognized for what you do 100 percent from your heart, that really makes a difference,” said Raymond.
