“Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.”— Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth (BALTIMORE – July 14, 2026) – Our generation’s mission may not be simply to invent artificial intelligence. It may be to govern it wisely. The question is no longer whether AI will transform civilization. It already has. The question is whether we possess the wisdom to ensure that the infrastructure powering it strengthens humanity rather than diminishes it. I recently watched The Great Wall. Like any Hollywood movie, it takes liberties with history. But one idea stayed with…

BMORENews Investigates: The AI Infrastructure Files (BALTIMORE – July 14, 2026) – Before BMORENews goes any further into the data center conversation, we need to slow down and answer a basic question: What exactly is a data center? That might sound obvious. It isn’t. In the weeks since publishing Part 1 of this investigation, one thing has become increasingly clear: much of the confusion surrounding data centers—the conflicting statistics, competing narratives, and even many of the political debates unfolding in Annapolis—comes down to people using the same words to describe very different things. Before we ask who pays for data centers,…

(OAKLAND, Calif. – July 8, 2026) — Innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people are willing to step into difficult spaces, solve problems, and build something better. That’s why I’m excited to welcome Carlton Williams as this week’s guest on The Black Business Roundtable. Hosted by yours truly, Art “Doug” Blacksher, The Black Business Roundtable streams live every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern / 4:00 p.m. Pacific on the Doni Glover YouTube Channel.

(SOUTHEAST, D.C. – July 8, 2026) – Every day, the world’s attention turns to Washington. Television cameras point toward the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the monuments that symbolize American power. Presidents make speeches. Congress debates legislation. Diplomats negotiate. Decisions made in Washington ripple across the globe. Yet on a recent summer morning, some of the most important work in the nation’s capital wasn’t taking place inside one of those marble buildings. It was happening on a sidewalk in Southeast D.C. A line of beautiful Black children walked two by two toward a neighborhood park, laughing,…

(HARLEM, NY – July 8, 2026) – Our history is significant. There are countless stories of melanated people in America that remain untold—from inventions and scientific breakthroughs to medicine, music, art, education, business, and real estate. Time and again, Black Americans have shattered glass ceilings erected by systems rooted in white supremacy, creating institutions and opportunities that transformed not only our communities but the nation itself. When it comes to real estate, however, there is one name that deserves far greater recognition. You cannot begin to tell the story of Harlem—what it has meant to Black America, what it has…

A Fourth of July conversation reconnects two longtime friends and celebrates a firefighter’s journey from public service to entrepreneurship. (CLINTON, MD – July 4, 2026) – Some stories begin with a press release. Others begin with a phone call. This one began more than two decades ago. In the early days of BMORENews, my late mentor in business, William Hopson, founder of IceTech, introduced me to a different side of Prince George’s County. One day, he drove me through Woodmore. I had never seen anything like it. Beautiful homes surrounded a championship golf course. Black families living in million-dollar homes.…
