NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson says tonight's (March 30) NAACP Image Awards event continues the civil rights organization's focus on the entertainment industry's efforts to showcase positive African-American images and stories.

"We created the Image Awards to assure that we held the industry accountable for projecting positive images for our community," Johnson said during a recent video interview.
