On Tuesday (April 16), the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors revealed that JAY-Z had been selected as one of their nine winners for the film Time: The Kalief Browder Story.
Described as a “powerful miniseries illuminating the greatest flaws of our criminal justice system,” Time: The Kalief Browder Story faced off against 60 other nominees, which were chosen from nearly 1,200 entries. The award is the first Peabody for Jay-Z but not the first for the Carter-Knowles family. In 2017, Beyonce’s Lemonade won a Peabody in the entertainment category.
The Peabody Awards honor the most powerful, enlightening, and invigorating stories in television, radio, and online media.
