Meek Mill Continues To Bloom In Recognitions Across The Cities

The celebration of Meek Mill continues as the rapper gets yet another honor, this time in Atlanta. The rapper has taken on a personal task of lending his voice and resources to the fight for criminal justice and prison reform, and these efforts have gained him recognition across the country.

His hometown of Philadelphia recently honored him with his own “Meek Mill Weekend,” Houston gave him his own day, and just last weekend Connecticut gave the rapper his own day and key to the city.

The ATL’s City Council President Felicia A. Moore and Councilman Cleta Winslow followed suit and publicly declared today, March 25, 2019, Meek Mill Day.

He was also bestowed Atlanta’s highest honor, the Phoenix Award which is “issued to individuals who have made significant contributions to the local community, and are celebrating a major milestone.”
