Black History did not start nor end with slavery (BALTIMORE – August 29, 2025) – When most American history books introduce Black people, they start at 1619, when “20 and odd” Africans arrived in Virginia. But that narrative is not just incomplete — it is a deliberate erasure. Black presence in the Americas begins long before Jamestown, and Black contributions run far deeper than slavery alone. From the Nile Valley shipbuilders, to West African emperors who launched Atlantic fleets, to the Moors who ruled Iberia, to Black navigators who guided European voyages, to Freedmen whose land and identity were stolen, and…

(BALTIMORE – August 29, 2025) – I just finished watching the recent Hurricane Katrina documentary on Netflix, and it truly gutted me. At the time of Katrina, In 2005, I was 14 and I didn’t fully grasp connection between disaster, tragedy, and systemic racial injustice. Watching now, has hit me in a way I wasn’t ready for.

(BALTIMORE – REVISED – August 30, 2025) – Nobody ever told me that I wasn’t good enough. Not for school. School has always been my happy place. I’ve loved learning since the first grade, when Ms. Williams taught us our vowels. I even loved rainy days because many of the bad kids would stay home, and the classroom felt calmer. In my household, school was the assignment. My parents ran a funeral home. Mom worked in clothing manufacturing and Pops wore a suit and tie daily. Many mornings I rode to school in the Fleetwood — people joke today that…

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 27, 2025) – Congressman Kweisi Mfume (MD-07) issued the following statement regarding reports that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) mishandled sensitive Social Security data: “Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, Trump’s actions have put Americans’ right to privacy at risk again. The operatives at DOGE recklessly uploaded the entire Social Security database—including names, birthdates, and other sensitive personal data—to an unsecured cloud, bypassing legal safeguards and exposing the private information of over 300 million Americans to a private entity without their consent. As the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations, I want answers,” said Congressman…
