(CNN) The BET Awards celebrated not only its 20th anniversary, but also the increased focus currently on the Black community and culture Sunday. The show kicked off with teen gospel singer Keedron Bryant, 12, offering a powerful performance of his viral hit, "I Just Wanna Live." It then segued into Chuck D and Flavor Flav of Public Enemy performing an updated rendition of their classic 1989 hit, "Fight The Power," with Nas, Black Thought, Rapsody and more artists joining. The theme of Sunday's show -- "Our Culture Can't Be Canceled -- comes at a time of cultural unrest over racial injustice in the wake of the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police. Host Amanda Seales, a comic and actress on "Insecure," referenced the show's virtual production due to the coronavirus pandemic.
