Keisha Lance Bottoms celebrated her victory for mayoral elect of Atlanta back in December. Bottoms took her oath of office during an inauguration ceremony in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College on Tuesday. She promised in her inaugural speech to work on fighting homelessness, to improve transparency at City Hall and to create a senior-level staff position for education, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Bottoms beat fellow council member Mary Norwood who had requested a recount after initial certified vote totals showed her losing to Bottoms by 832 votes, a margin of less than 1 percent.

Her win sparked a lot of talk throughout social media as Atlantans and other celebrities congratulated her on her win and the fact that Atlanta would soon be having a mayor named “Keisha.”

Bottoms poked a little fun at the lighthearted joke during her speech at her inauguration. “Only in Atlanta could a girl named Keisha, who attended Frederick Douglass High School on the west side, grow up to become the 60th mayor of the great city of Atlanta,” she said.

Her swearing in makes her Atlanta’s 60th mayor and the city’s sixth consecutive Black mayor since Maynard Jackson was elected in 1973. Maintaining the long streak of Black mayors in Atlanta was very important to the citizens of Atlanta as we saw during the campaign season.
