The 2026 BET Soul Train Awards were taped Nov. 5 at Chicago’s Harris Theater, marking the first time the ceremony was held in the city where Don Cornelius launched Soul Train. The event’s return followed a pause after 2023 and was championed by BET president and Chicago native Louis Carr as a celebration of the franchise’s roots and legacy. Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the show honored Chicago native Chaka Khan with the Classic Soul Honor; Common presented the award, and organizers announced a new Chaka Khan Humanitarian Award. Performers included Kirk Franklin, El DeBarge, Lucky Daye and Muni Long, while the purple-carpet fashion and related city events highlighted Soul Train’s enduring influence on music, dance and Black style. The ceremony is scheduled to air Nov. 27 on BET and CBS, alongside a fan-vote challenge whose winner will be featured in the broadcast.

An 8-year-old Haitian boy was taken into ICE custody after attending a scheduled immigration appointment in San Diego with the uncle who had cared for him since his father’s deportation. Federal officials said the uncle could not establish legal guardianship and placed the child in federal care; school officials and community advocates condemned the separation and raised concerns about the boy’s whereabouts and well-being.
