The iconic singer took to the podium during the event to reflect on the impact of the project, which was released in 1989. Following an introduction by longtime collaborator Jimmy Jam, Jackson addressed the ballroom by expressing gratitude for the honor and highlighting how the message of “Rhythm Nation 1814” still resonates today.
