McDonald's 365Black Awards Honor T.D. Jakes

Bishop T.D. Jakes is one of the honorees at this year's McDonald's 9th Annual 365Black Awards in New Orleans.  This award was launched in 2003 to celebrate the pride, heritage and achievements of African-Americans year-round.  Many of us have heard the Little Known Black History Fact on the Tom Joyner Morning Show; this daily fact is sponsored by McDonald's.

“This year’s 365Black Award honorees showcase an incredible range of talent, intellect and leadership,” said Rob Jackson, U.S. marketing director, McDonald’s USA. “From a high school student blazing new paths in medical technology to a legendary spiritual leader who motivates millions of people every day, McDonald’s is proud to honor and recognize all 2012 recipients for their extraordinary contributions that positively impact communities across America and the world, 365 days a year.” (from http://www.caribpress.com/2012/07/03/mcdonalds-365black-awards/)
