The Glover Report: One Baltimore. One World.

(BALTIMORE – June 22, 2025) – This has been an eventful week. With next Friday’s Doni Glover 6.0 celebration coming quickly, the work doesn’t stop — and neither does the news.

And when they matter to my community, I cover them. Three stories captured my attention this week: First, a young man named Bilal “BJ” Abdullah was shot by police on Laurens Street.Second, State Senator Cory McCray was the subject of…

EDITORIAL: In Defense of Sen. Cory McCray — And the Truth About Black Leadership in Baltimore

(BALTIMORE – June 21, 2025) – This week reminded us why Black media is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. The Baltimore Banner published a story that cast a dark cloud over one of Baltimore’s most committed public servants, State Senator Cory McCray. The headline alone — “A state senator aided a disgraced developer’s ‘affordable’ East Baltimore project” — was designed to provoke doubt, stir suspicion, and chip away at the integrity of a man who has spent his entire career fighting for East Baltimore. But this isn’t just about Cory McCray. It’s about narrative power. It’s about who…
