Will Smith revisited his roots in West Philadelphia to witness the dedication of “Will Smith Way,” a street honoring his enduring connection to his hometown. The ceremony, held next to his former high school, Overbrook High School, involved city officials, close acquaintances, and a special shout-out to his tenth-grade teacher, Brenda Brown, who initially nicknamed him “Prince Charming,” later transformed into “The Fresh Prince.” The renamed street, previously known as the 2000 block of North 59th Street, is a testament to his upbringing and the birth of his iconic persona. Mayor Cherelle Parker and other Philadelphia dignitaries commemorated the occasion by unveiling a basketball court in his name and presenting him with a symbolic key to the city. Smith, known for his successful acting career and music endeavors, expressed gratitude to his hometown, a place that has significantly influenced his life and artistic journey. His achievements, highlighted by his recent Oscar win for Best Actor, showcase his versatility and impact on Hollywood. Smith's commitment to his roots is evident in his upcoming album, "Based on a True Story," marking his return to the music scene after a two-decade hiatus.
