By Dante D. King, MS, M.Ed, CHRM (SAN FRANCISCO – October 9, 2023) – The main reason, I believe, that the majority of the White race (i.e., White people) continue to remain in support of Donald Trump is because of the core tenets of their organization/community. Some of these core tenets include, and are not limited to, extreme White narcissism and White sovereignty and a lack of accountability (i.e., never or almost having to admit wrongdoing or be accountable for anything to anyone, etc.). White sovereignty in America, means that White people have created the standards by which they, and everyone…

“Our Silence Will No Longer be Consent” By Yolanda Pulley (BALTIMORE – October 9, 2023) – Tench Tilghman Elementary School has recently come under fire for its failure to take appropriate action against an incident of assault involving a 3rd-grade student. The victim, whose identity is being protected for their safety, sustained injuries and has been left to pick up the pieces while their rights continue to be trampled on. This alarming lack of action and protection for the victim showcases a disturbing pattern of prioritizing the rights of bullies over those of the innocent. The incident, which took place…

(BALTIMORE – October 4, 2023) – Dear Morgan Community, On Tuesday night, shortly after I left Murphy Fine Arts Center where I had attended the coronation of Mr. & Ms. Morgan State University (MSU), I received word from the MSU Police Department that shots had been fired on campus within the vicinity of the Murphy Fine Arts Center and Thurgood Marshall Hall. As I arrived on the scene, I received a call from Governor Wes Moore pledging state support to assist in the investigation. I also received a call from Mayor Brandon Scott informing me that he was en route…

(BALTIMORE – October 3, 2023) – I must admit that my own sentiments are far from positive. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of profound disappointment that I address you today. I write not only as a concerned citizen but also as a representative of countless others who share my sentiments. The recent confirmation of Commissioner Richard Worley has left a bitter taste in our mouths, as it seems that our voices, pleas, and concerns were disregarded in favor of politics as usual. We implored you not to confirm Commissioner Worley, providing detailed testimony outlining the reasons…

(NEW YORK – September 17, 2023) – Now, we don’t know about you, but we’ve seen it all – coworkers who think they’re the office know-it-alls, folks who can’t resist interrupting meetings with their unsolicited two cents, and those who just can’t keep quiet when they should. It’s like they’re auditioning for their own reality show, right there in the office! But here’s the thing: speaking out of turn at work can have some real consequences. It can mess up productivity, harm working relationships, and totally throw off the whole team dynamic. So, it’s about time we address this and…

By Ericka Alston Buck (BALTIMORE – July 25, 2023) – If you’ve lived in Baltimore for many years, there is no way you have missed the man who panhandles with two prosthetic hooks for hands and two prosthetic legs. He used to be at the intersection of President & Pratt. He would sometimes be near Upton Market at Pennsylvania & Laurens. Noticeably addicted to drugs. Homeless. Helpless. His name is Terry. I have not seen Terry for years. I have thought of him often and feared that the horrors of drug addiction may have taken his life. I know his…

(ANNAPOLIS – May 25, 2023) – Why has the NAVY decided to intentionally mark the only access road to one of the last historical predominantly African American(Black) Homesteads on the Broadneck Peninsula a suburb of Annapolis, Mulberry Hill? For almost a year several concerned Anne Arundel residents and environmentalists have been raising awareness about the potential new golf course to be built on the Greenbury Point Conservation Area. Those plans are apparently on hold, but what is the meaning of this new street marking placed on Providence Road in the last few weeks? #USGovernmentProperty. Another sign was painted on the…

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – TriceEdneyWire.com – May 2, 2023) – As a parent, do you think your child is reading at grade level? The Learning Heroes’ National Parent Survey, conducted annually since 2016, consistently found that many parents tend to overestimate their child’s academic performance, including their reading levels. According to Be A Learning Hero’s Hidden in Plain Sight survey findings, 92% of parents believe their child is at or above grade level, while 44% of teachers believe that students will be prepared for grade-level work. Meanwhile, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data, also called the National Report Card, showed that 65% of…

By Cecelia Quarles (BALTIMORE – April 23, 2023) – I feel tremendously blessed to have grown – up in a time when partying and clubbing were a lot different than it is now. Come to think of it, everything was different. The music was different, The DJs were different, the people were different and the attitudes were tremendously different. We were Happy. Everything was new. There was nothing really to sample – musically because everything was still being created. Ours is The Standard. There was much more laughter and smiles at the club. We were not constantly “hating on” everyone…
