Rihanna had the crowd on their feet at the 51st NAACP Image Awards Saturday night.

The “Umbrella” singer received a standing ovation for her powerful speech when accepting the President’s Award at the star-studded ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.

“Thank you to Derrick [Johnson] and thank you to the staff of the NAACP, including all of you guys here in this room, and everyone at home watching who devoted their lives and efforts toward supporting people of color,” Rihanna, 32, began.
