In July 2018, the actor and comedian was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just months later, in December 2018,  Cedric’s hometown of St Louis, Missouri named a street in his honor, Cedric The Entertainer Way, in recognition of his far-reaching career achievements and dedicated philanthropy.

In addition to starring in and executive producing TV’s #1 new comedy, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, Cedric also currently co-stars in the hit comedy “The Last O.G.” Additional television credits include “The Soul Man,” a comedy series Cedric co-created, executive produced and starred in for five seasons; “The Steve Harvey Show,” for which Cedric won four consecutive NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy; the sketch comedy series “Cedric the Entertainer Presents” nabbing the AFTRA Award of Excellence; and Disney’s animated “The Proud Family,” which earned him an NAACP Image Award. Also noteworthy, he hosted the 12th season of the syndicated game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

In film, Cedric is perhaps best known for his crowd-pleasing performances in the hit “Barbershop” film franchise, as well as “The Original Kings of Comedy,” the Spike Lee-directed concert feature that chronicled the record-breaking Kings of Comedy Tour. Additionally, his vocal talents are showcased in the top-ranking “Madagascar” and “Disney’s Planes” animated franchises. Most recently, Cedric earned critical acclaim for his dramatic performance in the Oscar-nominated feature, “First Reformed,” starring Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried.

Our Fourth Annual Annual Environmental Leadership Summit is scheduled for September 19, 2020. Previous Summits have been in-person, but this year the Summit will be virtual using Zoom.

This year our focus is on the intersection of racial and social justice with environmental activism.
After a short welcome, we will hear from our Keynote speaker Sonja Robinson, Chair of the Environmental and Climate Justice Committee for the NAACP San Diego Branch. That will be followed by four segments, with short breaks between segments. The first two segments will be panel discussions on Intersectional environmentalism: Equity and Inclusivity.
The third segment will be a series of short statements from candidates running for election in 2020. Each one will answer the question: “What steps will you take to increase social equity and environmental justice once elected?”
The final segment will be a series of short statements from local environmental organizations. Each one will answer the question: “What will you do by the next summit to increase justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in your organization?”

Thanks to our sponsors, there will be no charge for participation, but you must register in advance.

Register now! Provide an email where we can send you a link to join the Summit. If you prefer to attend by phone for audio only, please provide the number you will be calling from.
