The Mayor for Life used government contracts, development opportunities and political power to build Washington, D.C.’s Black business class. (BALTIMORE – July 20, 2026) – Invariably, when I meet people from Washington, D.C., and the conversation turns to Marion Barry, I hear some version of the same statement: “Marion Barry gave me my first job.” I have heard it repeatedly from Washingtonians of different ages and backgrounds. To me, that is one of the most revealing measures of the man’s legacy. Long before “workforce development” became fashionable political language, Marion Barry understood that a young person’s first job could change…

As the publisher of BMORENews.com, which has continually served this city for the past 24 years, I choose to speak life over Mayor Scott, Baltimore, and its people. Supporting Baltimore does not mean surrendering…

(BALTIMORE – July 18, 2026) – This is a message to everyone working to make Baltimore City better—beginning with Mayor Brandon M. Scott and extending to all those entrusted with the enormous responsibility of rebuilding and reimagining our city. They are being asked to rebuild a plane that is already in the air. Today’s leaders, many of whom are Black—including our beloved Mayor Brandon Scott—inherited a Baltimore that struggled to pivot following the decline of the industrial era. Thankfully, Baltimore’s world-class colleges, universities, hospitals, and research institutions helped keep the city academically, medically, and intellectually grounded throughout that transition.

When Black elected officials endorse against Black candidates in a majority-Black district, voters deserve an explanation. “Charity starts at home.” (RANDALLSTOWN – July 1, 2026) – There are moments in politics when elections reveal more than winners and losers. They reveal priorities. The Democratic primary for Baltimore County Council’s 2nd District is one of those moments. The question is no longer simply why Ruben Amaya is leading Lawrence Williams. The larger question is this: Why did an all-Black political leadership team representing one of Baltimore County’s largest Black populations choose to endorse against the Black candidates in the race? That…
