The 10th annual celebration of the birth of Octavius Catto was held for the 1st time at his newly erected City Hall statue. Catto was murdered while serving as commander of state National Guard troops quelling election riots in Philadelphia. Antoine Watts portrayed Jacob White, Jr. and Crystal Kemp portrayed Caroline Bustill White, fellows with Catto in the city’s 19th-century civil-rights movement. Photo by Joe Stivala
SWEET VICTORY
CONGRESSMAN Brendan Boyle settled his Super Bowl wager with Patriots fan, Congressman Joe Kennedy III, last week. Boyle wagered an authentic Philly cheesesteak. Kennedy wagered an authentic Boston cream pie. Kennedy held up his end of the wager and even brought the pie down with him on the plane Wednesday and hand-delivered it to Boyle’s Capitol Hill office.
