Ron Simon, president and founder of both groups, told Caribbean Life that Bush and two other community figures were honored during a ceremony at Nazareth Hall in Brooklyn for their "outstanding work throughout the Diaspora for decades."
Simon said Nikita Robinson was honored for "academic excellence" and Archie "Killer" Miller for "40-plus years of service."
Bush, whose real name is Neville Bushell, told Caribbean Life that he started playing Caribbean music in 1975 on his Caribbean Pepperpot program on WHBI.
