To mark Kevin Hart’s 38th birthday on Thursday, July 6, his hometown of Philadelphia honored him with his own namesake day. The city is celebrating the inaugural holiday with the dedication of a mural of Hart outside of Max’s Steaks on Germantown Avenue in North Philadelphia. The establishment of Kevin Hart Day was announced on March 16 after Philadelphia city officials approved Councilman David Oh’s proposal to honor the comedian for the positivity he breeds through both his comedy and humanitarianism. In 2013, Hart donated 500 computers to the Philadelphia school district and gave out four $50,000 scholarships to several lucky Philadelphia students two years later. Hart wrote on Instagram the next day that he was “blown away” by the news.
