(BALTIMORE – June 24, 2026) – For nearly 25 years, BMORENews has done more than report the news. We have documented a people. As BMORENews approaches its 25th anniversary, we are reminded that institutions are not built overnight. They are built one story, one relationship, one community event, and one act of service at a time. Since 2002, BMORENews has chronicled Black life, Black business, Black politics, Black faith, Black education, and Black culture throughout Baltimore, Maryland, and beyond. What began as a local digital news platform has grown into one of the region’s longest-running independent Black-owned multimedia news organizations, with…

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” — Robert Frost (TOWSON, MD – June 24, 2026) – I spoke with former Dunbar High School Athletic Director and Coach Bob Wade last week, and as always, it was a joy. Coach Wade has a gift for encouragement. Every conversation seems to end the same way: with a reminder to do good work and make our beloved Dunbar High School proud. I’ll be honest. When I first arrived at the Eastside Garden,…

With $6,000 from the Kushner family, a redistricting betrayal, and a vote timed for when the only Black council member was out of town, voters need to know who Izzy Patoka really works for. (RANDALLSTOWN – June 22, 2026) – Larry Gibson doesn’t endorse lightly. The dean of Maryland politics — the man who helped elect Judge Joe Howard, who has worked on every major Black candidate’s race in Baltimore and Maryland for the better part of half a century — has seen enough politicians come and go to know the difference between someone who talks about serving people and…

(GLEN BURNIE – June 22, 2026) – Pete Smith was seven years old. His little brother was five. As big brothers do, Pete had grown impatient with his shadow—that little boy who followed him everywhere, who wanted to go wherever Pete went. On this particular day, Pete ran across the street and told his brother not to follow him. His brother followed anyway. A car came. The five-year-old didn’t see it in time. He was struck. Pete ran back, ran into the house, found his mother. “The baby got hit. The baby got hit. It’s my fault. It’s my fault.” His…

Before You Vote Tuesday, Consider This (MT. WASHINGTON, MD – June 22, 2026) – The polls open soon. And before you pull that lever, consider what actually makes a leader worth voting for. A leader needs ego — but balanced ego. Enough confidence to fight for you. Enough humility to go home and be a real person. Mental health matters in elected office. Don’t sleep on that. A leader needs to understand the business of politics. What resources are required. What things cost. Where to get them. Who controls them. Politics is not just passion — it’s operations. A leader…
