Black Wall Street

(BALTIMORE – October 14, 2026) – Family, I need to talk to you for a moment. This is really important. Every day, news happens, and somebody reports it.

Walker (no slight intended), I am compelled to remind folks who actually mentored Walker. I think it is important to help people see the bigger picture. We are easily attracted to millionaires and billionaires. Of course! I think it is essential, however, to give credit where credit is due.
