TGR: To Be a Poet

(BALTIMORE – October 25, 2025) – Anyone new to Baltimore learns quickly the significance of one’s high school. Here, it’s a badge of honor — the first real decision many of us made before adulthood. It’s also where we first caught a glimpse of what our future could be. Truth is, our record follows us — the academics, the sports, the discipline, and yes, even the missteps. For me, that story leads to Paul Laurence Dunbar Community High School, where I spent my final two years of high school (1981–1983). My cousin Natalie convinced me: “Come to Dunbar. You’ll love…

DO YOU HAVE INDIAN IN YOUR FAMILY?

Reclaiming the Narrative — From Africa to Virginia’s “Paper Genocide” (BALTIMORE – October 5, 2025) – Following the science, it has long been the general notion that humanity began in Africa. The San Bushmen of Namibia in Southern Africa are said to possess the oldest DNA on earth. From there, humankind is believed to have migrated outward to populate the globe. If that’s the case, then the African — the original human — is indigenous to every land on this planet. Yet here in America, the story has been reduced to a single narrative: that melanated people with 175 to…

INDIGENOUS SERIES: “One of the Hottest Shows on the Internet”  … TONIGHT 8 pm

(BALTIMORE – October 5, 2025) – Peace and blessings, family. Recently, I received an email from a brother who’s been faithfully watching our Indigenous Series. In his words, the discussions sometimes feel “romantic, fragmented, or inconclusive,” and that all the “neo-intellectualism” might leave some folks scratching their heads. First off, I appreciate that kind of feedback — because that’s exactly what this platform is about: dialogue. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we do have to keep talking — openly, honestly, and with love for truth. Let me be clear: this series was never designed to hand out…

Deja flu: And I hope I’m wrong about this!

(PIKESVILLE – October 12, 2025) – Maybe they are wrong about this — but they probably aren’t. With the drop-off in vaccination rates for both children and adults, many experts are predicting that the next seven to nine months could bring an epidemic of illness. By May or June of 2026, we may be looking back at a devastating public health nightmare. I hope not, but we’ll see. Vaccines aren’t perfect, and as with any medical treatment, there can be side effects. But overwhelmingly, vaccines are safe and effective. That’s why smallpox, polio, tetanus, rabies, and a host of other…

INDIGENOUS SERIES on BMORENews.com’s Doni Glover Show: SUNDAY, 8 PM

(BALTIMORE – October 2, 2025) – About ten years ago, BMORENews.com produced a “Black Indian” video — a labor of love rooted in my lifelong fascination with Native American history. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to the Indigenous story. My father used to speak about his grandmother, Mollie Morton of South Boston, Virginia. He would say, “She could carry a bucket of water in each hand and one on her head and never spill a drop.” That’s oral tradition. Today, an entire generation of young people is rediscovering that tradition, digging deeply into Indigenous ancestry. Many don’t connect with Africa, Africans,…
