Chaos or Community: BMORENews.com Hosts High-Stakes Political Conversation at Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center
(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) — The question has been asked in barbershops, church pews, community centers, and living rooms across this city for years: Despite the number of Black elected officials holding political office in Baltimore, has life for Black people in this city actually gotten better? On Thursday, June 11, 2026, BMORENews.com — in conjunction with Dr. Al Hathaway of the Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center — will bring that question into the open. Chaos or Community: A Political Conversation will be held at 6:00 PM at the Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center, 1315 Division Street in West Baltimore. The event…

(RANDALLSTOWN – March 27, 2026) – I have to be honest. I’m not just saddened — I’m alarmed.What I’m hearing from some leaders in Northwest Baltimore County right now sounds less like strategy and more like disunity at the worst possible moment. On June 23rd, Baltimore County voters face a historic crossroads. For the first time ever, a non-white male candidate has a real shot at leading the county. Given everything people of color have built and contributed here, this moment is long overdue. Moments like this don’t come often — and when we mishandle them, we pay for it…
(BALTIMORE COUNTY – March 16, 2026) — Admittedly, I am hard on my Baltimore County brethren. Why? Because time after time, I receive phone calls asking for help — political advice, strategic insight, introductions, or media coverage. And yes, I help when I can. But I have also tried to push something equally important: self-empowerment. Yet somehow, incredibly, we keep returning to the same place. Let me also be clear about something. I’m a Baltimore City guy. Always have been. City all day. But much of my family lives in Baltimore County, and I’ve spent plenty of time out there…
Mayor Scott’s zoning overhaul and Governor Moore’s statewide housing bill signal a major shift in how Maryland approaches development. (BALTIMORE – March 15, 2026) – For months, Baltimore residents have been debating a controversial zoning proposal at City Hall that could allow single-family homes to be converted into multi-unit buildings. But while that fight continues locally, a second housing plan moving through Annapolis could accomplish many of the same goals statewide. Taken together, the proposals — one from Mayor Brandon Scott and another from Governor Wes Moore — represent one of the most significant shifts in Maryland housing policy in decades.…
BMORENews Founder Doni Glover reports from Annapolis as the District 10 delegate race shifts and Northwest Baltimore County voters prepare for a pivotal election. (ANNAPOLIS – March 10, 2026) – There’s nothing quite like popping up in Annapolis during Maryland’s legislative session. The 90-day Maryland General Assembly session is relentless. The state’s 47 senators and 141 delegates debate roughly 2,500 bills affecting everything from energy costs and public safety to education funding and economic development. It is serious work. And on any given day, Annapolis becomes a meeting place for lawmakers, advocates, community leaders, and everyday Marylanders determined to ensure…
The giants who built Minority Business Enterprise didn’t act like this. Not one of them. (ANNAPOLIS – March 8, 2026) – I was there. At the very first MBE Night in Annapolis. Helped promote it, in fact. I know what it was built on. I know who was in the room. I know the spirit that animated it — a spirit that came directly from the giants who spent their lives fighting to open the doors of economic opportunity for Black and minority business owners in Maryland and across this country. Which is why what I am watching unfold right now…
Maryland’s 29% Promise — Measured by Results, Not Rhetoric Before Minority Business Enterprise became a program, it was a fight. It was leaders like Parren J. Mitchell who secured federal minority set-asides not for applause, but for structural access to public contracts that had long been denied to Black-owned firms. MBE was not created for branding. It was created to correct exclusion. In that spirit, BMORENews launches the first annual Maryland State MBE Accountability Scorecard — a data-driven look at where Maryland stands relative to its own benchmark. This is not about personalities.This is about performance. The Benchmark: Maryland’s 29%…

As filing deadlines pass and campaigns heat up, integrity, financial discipline, and protection of Black institutions must outweigh polish and performance. (ANNAPOLIS – March 1, 2026) – As time proceeds unforgivingly, one cannot help but notice the tendencies of the human heart — what it truly desires when it says it wants to run for office. We have seen this movie before. The seasoned politician grows comfortable in the seat. A young, ambitious challenger arrives — polished, articulate, camera-ready. The upset victory. The celebration. And eventually, the cycle repeats. Yesterday’s reformer becomes today’s establishment. But beyond the speeches and tailored…
