(BALTIMORE – February 3, 2025) – Today, Congressman Kweisi Mfume (MD-07) issued a strong statement denouncing President Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s unfortunate decision to shut down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). “As a Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I am calling on President Trump and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, to cease this foolishness and obey the law. President Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless actions to close the doors at USAID are shameful, puzzling, and a continuation of this administration’s arbitrary purge of longstanding government efforts that empower some of the world’s most…

(BALTIMORE – February 1, 2025) – Although I have spent most of my life in West Baltimore, my story actually began in East Baltimore. My earliest years were spent living above my parents’ funeral home. Our first location, at 1701-1703 N. Patterson Park Avenue, around 1968, had a morgue out back. The second, at 712-714 E. North Avenue, had a more advanced setup—its morgue was in the rear of the first floor, equipped with a machine for lifting bodies. The funeral chapel was at the front, and overall, it was a much better facility than the first. It wasn’t until…

(BALTIMORE – January 31, 2025) – Black people in the US can catch a bad rap so quickly. Between the news and social media, it is painful to see how we can sometimes go at each other over something otherwise – in the big scheme of things – petty. This isn’t about calling anyone out. This isn’t about blame. I’m just stating facts. Last night, however, was a pleasant reminder of the love, beauty, and power within our community. We (BMORENews.com) hosted a Joe Manns Black Wall Street Award ceremony at BWI-THURGOOD MARSHALL Airport where Ricky Smith is the CEO. I…

(BALTIMORE – January 31, 2025) –  We, as a people, are so beautiful! I don’t care what anyone says. When one peruses the landscape of last night’s Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards ceremony at BWI-THURGOOD MARSHALL Airport’s Observation Deck, I saw a beautiful thing. There were not only business owners present from across the DMV, but also their supporters. While we thank the airport’s chief executive, Ricky Smith, and his phenomenal team – Annette Fisher, Geraldine Bailey, and John Harvell, I have to take a moment and mention how important it is for entrepreneurs to have their family members present…
