Bono Acceptance Speech

(Albuquerque, N.M.)

The Bono Acceptance Speech at the NAACP Awards is my favorite. The musician and activist received the Chairman's Award during the March 2, 2007 live broadcast of the 38th NAACP Image Awards.

Bono has been an inspiration to many around the world through his music and humanitarian efforts. Effect can be seen in his speech topics at the end.

The NAACP honored him "in recognition of the difference he has made and to acknowledge his ongoing campaigning to actively engage Americans from all walks of life in the fight against extreme poverty and the global AIDS pandemic.", according to Board Chairman Julian Bond.

The NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, founded in 1909.

Bono has lobbied presidents and world leaders - along with the heads of many other G8 nations - to cancel the debts of the world's poorest countries and provide $25 billion in additional annual development assistance to Africa by 2010.

In the receiving wording he continues his efforts. This Bono acceptance is some kind of a lecture about the speech topics awareness and the fight against extreme poverty in development regions.

1. Make up public speaking stuff to seem important ( e.g. "I once wen't to the moon")
2. Do not be your self because no one cares.

Acquiescence
by: Joan

Who says nothing, agrees with it. Some folks tell us this when they want to achieve something. Silent agreeing is possible too when an indivudual do not show up at a ceremony like we have seen before in many occassions. There could be three reasons for not attending:
1. Illness (due to a cold or fever)
2. Too old to come and receive a lifetime acheivement award or in like manner.
3. The recipient does not agree with the prize at all, she or he disputes the grand jury or the incidents that lead up to the announcement itself.
In case of the mentioned first two justifications for absence, you can send a stand-in. A friend, a company producer or so. Brief this person on your behalf with some nice notes.
In case of reason 3: leave an official persuassive waiver - is good for your self-promotion too in the end; e,g. it generates a lot of attentiun from unbiased press.
