(BALTIMORE – June 21, 2026) – My father, Donald Edward Glover—known to everyone as “Doc Glover”—was a highly skilled mortician and funeral director. He owned Glover’s Funeral Chapel, first located at 1701–1703 Patterson Park Avenue. That was the first place I called home. Later, we moved to 712–714 East North Avenue, between Boone and Homewood, where I lived until about 1974, before returning to my mother’s home at 1526 Moreland Avenue in West Baltimore. Doc Glover was a tough man, but he loved his family deeply. He went to church every Sunday—not what some would call a “holy roller,” but a…

(BALTIMORE – June 18, 2-26) – Baltimore City’s Small and Minority Business Development office (SMBAD) certified $137 million in payments to local small, minority, and women-owned businesses in Fiscal Year 2025 — a dramatic jump from the approximately $26–27 million captured the year prior in FY24. Chris Lundy, speaking on the milestone, was careful to note that the gap between those two numbers isn’t purely a reflection of growth. “We didn’t have the system in place,” he explained, “so there was definitely money that we were leaving on the table that we weren’t able to capture.” Now that the city…

(BALTIMORE – June 14, 2026) – Stop the presses. I need to put down every political story, every Black business feature, every Black Wall Street update — and talk to you directly about something that has been gnawing at me for a long time. The Math Doesn’t Lie. Did you know that people pay $20 every four weeks to access the Baltimore Banner? Twenty dollars. Every four weeks. That comes out to roughly $240 a year — flowing to a news outlet that, in too many cases, paints a distorted, incomplete, and sometimes disrespectful picture of Black Baltimore. And I’m…

BMORENews recently received a research packet that raises concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of data centers in Maryland. The claims are under review, and responses are being sought from policymakers, utility officials, developers, and community stakeholders. The purpose of this series is not to advocate for or against data centers.

(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) – One year ago, I was preparing to walk across the stage at Morgan State University for a Master’s degree I had started in 1996. Think about that for a second. Nearly three decades after beginning the journey, I was finally about to finish. Morgan has a program called Morgan Completes You. Dr. Helen Harrison introduced me to it. Dr. Carla Jackson welcomed me with open arms. Dr. Sims, Dr. Bradley, Dr. Metaferia, Dr. Westrick, Kecia — and even the president himself, Dr. David Wilson — poured into me until I crossed the finish line.…

(BALTIMORE – May 26, 2026) — Baltimore just witnessed a rare double play: a royal 60th birthday celebration at the Inner Harbor—and a power move that puts one of its own at the helm of a crown-jewel stage.
