(BALTIMORE – April 24, 2026) – Historic Pennsylvania Avenue is just three blocks from my home. This key thoroughfare runs from Franklin Street and stretches northwest into Reisterstown Road. Follow it far enough and you’ll find yourself in Owings Mills, Reisterstown, even Franklin. But “down the bottom” — as we call it — the Avenue carries a history as layered as America itself: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yes, there have been hard times. The Avenue has known the grip of illegal drugs. But it has also known greatness. Legends like Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley, Slappy White, and Billie…

Since the dawn of civilization, combat sports have mirrored the struggle of life itself—mano y mano, one against one. From the ancient coliseums where gladiators fought for glory, to modern arenas where champions are made and legends fall, the boxing ring remains one of the purest stages of human competition. It is here, under the bright lights and the roar of the crowd, that warriors step forward knowing only one will leave victorious. The question is timeless, as old as sport itself: who will win? (BALTIMORE – August 30, 2025) – In 1829, Mexico elected a Black president: Vicente Guerrero.…

A BMORENews.com EXCLUSIVE (WOODLAWN – August 25, 2025) – You don’t find this type of legacy just anywhere. Only a special demographic knows about it. You hear tales of it every year, and finally — thanks to Choo Smith — I got the chance to experience it firsthand. Everywhere I turned, there were legends. Here a legend, there a legend … legends all around. Some I knew, many I had never even heard of. And for all the basketball aficionados out there, don’t beat me up — I admit this history isn’t for the casual fan. Sure, I know the…

(BALTIMORE – April 2, 2025) – There is a place on Historic Pennsylvania Avenue that is so very special. It is called Upton Boxing Center. Coach Calvin and Coach Kenny have led a tremendous effort for several years now. People like Cleve Brister gave them such an opportunity. Coach Calvin said they came in, painted the spot, and began what would become the home of a world champion boxer: Gervonta “Tank” Davis. It is particularly special that these men have never disconnected themselves after stardom. We can see them all on television, yet they are right around the corner from…

To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…
