At the time of Don’s birth, his mother was married to another man thus Don’s last name Lemon – he didn’t know who his father was until he turned five. He studied at Baker High School, and was his class’ president for his final year there. Upon matriculating in 1984, Don enrolled at Louisiana University from which he graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in 1989.

In September 2006 he joined CNN, and has since been criticizing the network as well as all others. Don has spoken about the ways in which the African-American people could improve their lives, and has been criticized for having spoken openly about this. Since 2014, he’s been hosting CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Special”.
In January 2018, Don started his broadcast with these words: ‘This is CNN Tonight, I’m Don Lemon. The President of the United States is racist’. He has been highly criticized for this and it made him a target of Trump’s followers and white supremacists.
He has won many awards for his work, including a 2002 Edward R. Murrow Award, and a 2016 Native Son Award. In 2009, the magazine “Ebony” named him amongst the 150 most influential African-American people and in 2014, the LGBT-interest magazine featured him in their list of 50 most influential LGBTQ people in media.
