(BALTIMORE – February 10, 2026) – My best friend, Anthony “Marty” Williams, passed away 13 years ago. His birthday would have been Saturday, February 7th — he would have turned 61. Marty devoted his life to uplifting young men in Baltimore, raising money so they could afford a college education. That spirit lives on through his son, Aris Williams, who just launched a new app called “Be-More” in his father’s honor. Here is what Aris had to say: Today, my father would have been 61! He devoted much of his life to raising money to help young men in Baltimore afford a college education, and that spirit of giving back has always stayed with me. Following in his footsteps, I’ve developed an app called “Be-More.” “Be-More” is a trivia game that sheds light on the rich history and culture of Baltimore, which are not typically shown in the headlines. Inspired by the Freerice app, “Be-More” features an ad bar at the bottom that generates revenue to give back to the Baltimore community while you learn! The ad bar is just a mock-up for now, but I’m actively seeking input, especially from local businesses and organizations, on potential partnerships and meaningful causes we can support together. Go download the app and let me know what y’all think! Try to get up to 12 questions correct in a row for a fun surprise animation! What neighborhoods, stories, or additions would you like to see next? I would love to hear it all! Big shoutout to Nick Eliacin for the publishing help — truly appreciate you. Download Be-More on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/be-more/id6758647279 Marty’s legacy continues. Download the app, support the mission, and learn something new about Baltimore.

(BALTIMORE – May 23, 2025) – Eight days apart. That’s all that separates my daughter’s graduation from Coppin State University and mine from Morgan State University. Two generations. Two degrees. Two historically Black colleges and universities — both in the heart of Baltimore. For me, this is more than a personal achievement. It’s legacy. It’s healing. It’s redemption. It’s God. When I first set foot on the campus of Morehouse College, I had no idea my mother would be gone just two years later. She gave everything so I could attend what I still consider the greatest HBCU in America. Morehouse…

Founder, BMORENews.com | BlackUSA.News | The Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards (BALTIMORE – May 20, 2025) – On May 31, 1921, 104 years ago, Tulsa’s Greenwood District—known as Black Wall Street—was burned to the ground. Over 300 people were killed. Black wealth, dreams, and institutions were destroyed in what remains one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in American history. As we commemorate that tragedy, we must also confront our own moment. It’s time to talk. We, Black Baltimoreans—including our brothers and sisters in the surrounding Baltimore County—need to have an honest, unapologetic, and forward-looking conversation about our…
