(BALTIMORE – October 15, 2024) – With decades of total sobriety under his belt, Vennieth McCormick is helping others on their recovery journey. All too familiar with the perils of the streets of Baltimore, McCormick has made it his mission to provide treatment on demand for those willing to make that pivotal change to a new way of living. The truth is, he knows that recovery from drugs and alcohol is a full-time job, and so, too, is overcoming gambling. And he knows that access to treatment for these ills is not always a given. And that’s why he has…

(BALTIMORE – October 14, 2024)—The second Monday in October is now recognized as Indigenous Peoples Day. It replaces Columbus Day, which was formerly dedicated to the imperialists who toiled on behalf of Spain and Portugal. According to research, Native Americans came to North America through the Bering Strait some 10,000-12,000 years ago. Since then, some Blacks have experienced a blended history with these people, a history that includes the era of American slavery. It should be noted that Blacks have been in the Americas for as long, if not longer. Luzia, whose bones were found in a cave in Brazil,…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – October 13, 2024)—It was overwhelming. To see so many examples of Black excellence is truly a treat for this “unapologetically Black” news publisher/marketing CEO/3x author. Despite the negativity bombarding our community regularly, I witnessed three powerful examples of Black unity. As far as I know, there were no TV cameras or reporters. ‘Everyday people’ were out there making a difference because they cared. It started with our Black Wall Street event at the Black Swan, a Black-owned business at 1302 Fleet Street. The room was packed as phenomenal Black entrepreneurs and business professionals were…

(BALTIMORE – October 11, 2024) – In recent weeks, the reputation of Joshua Harris, a dedicated volunteer and Treasurer of the Maryland NAACP, has been unjustly tarnished by misleading accusations and sensationalized media reports. As someone who has witnessed Mr. Harris’s unwavering commitment to Black people, I feel compelled to set the record straight. Joshua Harris is not just a volunteer; he represents the changing of the guard in an ineffectual organization drowning in scandal and financial disarray. When he assumed the role of Treasurer, he didn’t find a well-oiled machine—he uncovered a financial quagmire that would send most of…
