May 27, 2021, the Houston’s Mayor Sylvester Turner joined other dignitaries to commemorate the 4th Annual Africa Day Reception. This is the only event held annually to strengthen ties between the city of Houston and the local African community. Organizers say by re-connecting, this event allows a cultural exchange and supports global understanding.
Attended by Ambassadors of most African countries, The Africa Day Reception is part of a series of events in observance of Africa Day. Due to COVID protocol and security, this public participation in this event was limited.
