(BALTIMORE – August 15, 2025) – If I can convince you that you came here from somewhere else, I can erase any possibility of you finding out your lineage was here all along. That’s exactly what happened to countless Native Black Americans. Through “paper genocide” — changing birth, census, and tribal records — entire families were reclassified. One of the most notorious examples was the Dawes Commission in the late 1800s. They created the Dawes Rolls to register citizens of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole Nations. But if you had African ancestry, you were often forced into the “Freedmen”…

(RANDALLSTOWN – August 14, 2025) – When I wrote earlier this year that Baltimore County seemed to be “getting its act together” on race, I meant it.

(TOWSON, MD – August 12, 2026) – In Baltimore County, Maryland, the Black or African American population (non-Hispanic) is approximately 29.8% — nearly one-third of the county. Two of the county’s seven council districts are now majority Black. These numbers matter, because history shows that when Black political power is concentrated, the system will adjust itself to contain it — unless we stay awake. Which brings us to Baltimore County Inspector General Kelly Madigan. Since her appointment in January 2020, I have been told by multiple county employees — more than just a few — that they fear her. Not…
