(BALTIMORE – May 9, 2024) – Join us on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 6 to 8 pm at Coppin State University’s School of Business, located at 2500 W. North Avenue, as we honor Doni Glover’s remarkable 30-year journey in journalism. From his early days at the Sandtown-Winchester Viewpoint Newspaper to his contributions to the Coppin State College Courier, the Afro, the Baltimore Times, the Final Call, and ultimately his own outlet – BMORENews.com, this event commemorates his dedication to news reporting, which began at Coppin. It’s fitting that we celebrate this milestone where it all started.
We invite everyone to join us in honoring journalist Doni Glover. From his roots in East Baltimore to his ventures in East Africa and the Middle East, Glover hosted the longest-running sponsored show at Radio One in the US for 21 years, curated the largest Black news YouTube catalog in the country, and has been the driving force behind BMORENews.com for the past 22 years. In December 2020, Glover expanded his reach with the launch of BlackUSA.News, featuring streaming shows from various regions across the US.
Among his many achievements, Glover holds a special pride in two BMORENews initiatives: the “Love 4 L” ministry, which he established at the former Baltimore City Jail for young individuals aged 14 to 17 facing adult charges, and the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, recognizing entrepreneurship in nine major US cities to date. Reflecting on his journey, Glover often recalls his father’s wisdom: “With a closed hand, nothing gets in and nothing gets out. With an open hand, there are endless possibilities. The moral to the story is to help somebody.”
