(BALTIMORE – November 9, 2025) – When you hear “Penn-North,” what comes to mind? Be honest. There’s a pause. A look. That intersection at North Avenue—just south of Mondawmin Station, where the Freddie Gray uprising began—carries a stigma that most of Maryland would rather ignore. But here’s what the rest of the state doesn’t want to admit: Penn-North is where their kids go to die. BMORENews spoke with addictions counselor Steve Dixon, who revealed something that should alarm every family from Towson to Annapolis, from Montgomery County to the Eastern Shore. The drug unleashing havoc at Penn-North isn’t just fentanyl…

(BALTIMORE – November 2, 2025) – At 60 years old, I’ve reached another milestone. In May, I completed my Master’s in Journalism at Morgan State University. Today, I’m pursuing doctoral studies in Management and Organization at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business. Some people ask, “Why are you still in school?” Because the mission demands it. For over 30 years, I’ve been building platforms to amplify Black voices, celebrate Black business, and demand justice. But telling our stories isn’t enough anymore. Now, I’m equipping myself with the academic tools to document our economic power, our history, and our path…

This isn’t just news. It’s a record of resilience. The site’s growing archive — thousands of articles, interviews, and videos — captures the essence of what many call the…

(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…

(JACKSONVILLE, FL – October 12, 2025) – Nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Harry Daniels have been retained to represent Erika McGriff, the unarmed Jacksonville mother violently arrested in front of her daughter by a police officer outside of her daughter’s school, IDEA Charter School on October 7. In recently released video footage, the officer can be seen punching McGriff, throwing her to the ground, pinning her by her neck with his knee, and yanking her hair as she cries out in pain. In the video audio, McGriff says “help” or “I can’t breathe” more than twenty times. Attorney…

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…

(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…
