Boston, Massachusetts, United States, has designated March 2nd as “Burna Boy’s Day” in honor of the Nigerian artist.
This was written in a Boston City Council paper signed by Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune. The letter states that Burna Boy was honored for his “performances and advocacy works.”
The document read inter alia: “Boston’s commitment to recognizing and celebrating culture and diversity is evident in the range of cultural events, festivals, and community initiatives that showcase the city’s multicultural landscape and:
“Whereas, Burna Boy’s legacy serves as a reminder of possibility, reminding us to continue amplifying voices that have long been silenced or overlooked, now, therefore be it resolved: That March 2, 2024 is designated Burna Boy Day in the City of Boston.”
