On Saturday, I had two assignments for the AJC. This was the first. Actress Mo’Nique was being recognized by the Atlanta Urban League with their Lifetime Achievement Award in a ceremony at the Mariott Marquis hotel. Mo’Nique, 42, choked up quite a bit at the realization that she still had much of her life to live. She was also recognized by the city of Atlanta in a surprise move and was presented with the Phoenix Award.
