(BALTIMORE – June 19, 2024) – Join us on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 6 to 8 pm at Coppin State University’s College of Business, located at 2500 W. North Avenue, to celebrate Doni Glover’s remarkable 30-year journalism career. This special event will feature Glover’s signature business component, the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, which honor Black entrepreneurs, professionals, and their supporters of all races.

Doni Glover’s illustrious career spans multiple esteemed publications, including the Sandtown-Winchester Viewpoint Newspaper, Coppin State’s then-College Courier, the Afro, the Baltimore Times, the Final Call, and BMORENews.com. This celebration will highlight his three decades of dedication to journalism, with roots in Baltimore. It is fitting to mark this milestone at Coppin State University, where Glover’s journey began in 1993 with the Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program.

From East Baltimore to East Africa and the Middle East, Glover has made a significant impact. He hosted the longest-running sponsored show at Radio One in the US, built one of the country’s largest Black news YouTube catalogs, and has been the driving force behind BMORENews.com for the past 22 years. This award-winning platform is renowned for correctly predicting the last four governors of Maryland and for extensive coverage of the White House since President Barack Obama’s era. Glover has been featured on national platforms like TV One and CNN, and locally on every major station in the Greater Baltimore area, starting with WBAL TV 11. He co-hosts the BMORENews Report on Hip Hop Chronicles with Mike Nyce every Thursday at midnight on WEAA 88.9 FM, broadcasting live from Morgan State University, where he is completing his Master’s in Journalism with a concentration in International Affairs in December.

In December 2020, Glover launched BlackUSA.News featuring streaming shows from across the US. He is particularly proud of two BMORENews projects: the “Love 4 L” ministry presented at the former Baltimore City Jail for 14 to 17-year-olds charged with adult crimes, and the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, which celebrate entrepreneurship in nine major US cities.

Glover is also a three-time author, with works including “Unapologetically Black: Doni Glover Autobiography” (2015), “I Am Black Wall Street” (2021), and “Journapreneur: Pioneering the Digital Age of Black Journalism” (2024).

Glover’s favorite quote from his father encapsulates his philosophy: “With a closed hand, nothing gets in and nothing gets out. With an open hand, there are endless possibilities. The moral of the story is to help somebody.”

Come and celebrate the extraordinary career of Doni Glover, a beacon in journalism and a proud Coppin Alumni.
