(COLLEGE PARK, MD – September 14, 2026) – Long before artificial intelligence became a part of our daily conversations, The Jetsons gave us a glimpse into the 21st century. The animated television series premiered in 1962 and introduced Americans to a futuristic world filled with flying cars, video calls, moving sidewalks, push-button meals, and robots that handled household chores. Rosie the Robot was practically a member of the Jetson family. For many of us, The Jetsons planted the first seed of what the future might look like. Technology would make life easier. Machines would do the work while humans enjoyed the…

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his own pockets for you.” (BALTIMORE – September 13, 2026) – It is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. It is standing directly in front of us, staring us in the face, yet nobody seems willing to talk about it. Black people are being found hanging across America. We hear the reports sparingly—one from Mississippi, another from Georgia, another from Michigan, and then three in North Carolina. The…

A lesson from Emmanuel Price about freedom, brotherhood, and never being jealous of a Black man making money (BALTIMORE – September 9, 2026) – BMORENews.com is making moves. That’s what the word is on the street. As the publisher, all I can say is that we are working really hard not to disappoint. When I look back over my media career, one person who has been a part of my journey is Mr. Emmanuel Price. Unfortunately, Mr. Price attended Baltimore City College, but we won’t hold that against him. He also attended Syracuse University. Manny supervised me when I was…

(BALTIMORE – September 5, 2026) – Coming from Baltimore, I am well aware of civil rights history. Not far from my home is Druid Hill Avenue, once a central corridor of Baltimore’s Black community and a hub of civil rights organizing, Black politics, business, faith and journalism. It is part of the foundation upon which generations of Baltimoreans fought for equality, dignity, and political power. Atlanta has a similarly powerful tradition. In fact, Atlanta was one of the most significant command centers of the modern civil rights movement. It was home to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Southern Christian…

The Maryland Freedom Caucus objects, but Wes Moore is refusing to let Donald Trump’s redistricting campaign go unanswered. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (ANNAPOLIS, MD – September 3, 2026) – I like Jasmine Crockett. No. Let me keep it real. I love me some Jasmine Crockett. Sharp. Gorgeous. Articulate. Knowledgeable. Factual. Tenacious. Bold. Fearless. That is one bad Black woman. Jasmine Crockett is quite possibly the most dynamic politician in America. She…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-JLlUXuchE&t=7s The 55th Eastern Regional Conference brought more than a sea of red to Baltimore. It brought economic, cultural, social, historical, and political power. (BALTIMORE – August 30, 2026) – Downtown Baltimore was painted red this weekend. Thousands of members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated descended on the city for the organization’s 55th Eastern Regional Conference, held August 27–30, 2026, at the Baltimore Convention Center and Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. I had the opportunity to cover the conference and witness its impact firsthand. Before entering the main ballroom, I stopped to see Dr. Frances “Toni” Draper, publisher of the…

(BALTIMORE – August 22, 2026) – I once sat across from the man who directed Project Blue Book—the United States Air Force’s official investigation into unidentified flying objects—and asked him a simple question: Had he ever seen anything in the sky that he could not explain? His answer was yes. Lt. Col. Robert J. “Bob” Friend did not give me some recycled story from a documentary. He was not repeating something another pilot had told him. He told me personally that he had seen something flying—something that was neither regular nor normal. Maybe it was a light. Maybe it was…

For 24 years, BMORENews.com’s Six-Point News Agenda has guided its coverage of Black Baltimore. The mission—and the question—remain the same: What solution are you bringing to the table? (BALTIMORE – August 21, 2026) – For 24 years, BMORENews.com has operated under a Six-Point News Agenda focused on the issues that most directly affect Black Baltimore. The agenda is not new. It has guided our journalism since BMORENews.com was founded on August 9, 2002. What has changed is the urgency. Baltimore is experiencing investment on a scale we have not seen in generations. The West North Avenue Development Authority has committed…

Maryland’s political history proves that when power changes hands, new relationships—and new opportunities—can emerge. (BALTIMORE – August 16, 2026) – It’s been a long time coming, but change is finally here. We knew back in 2002 that change was indeed possible. Don’t remember that year? That was the era of the Republican Revolution in Maryland. Yep! After 36 years, Maryland Republicans finally outstunted the Democrats—despite the Democrats’ 2-to-1 voter-registration advantage. State Senator Clarence Mitchell IV did the unthinkable. C4 challenged the Democratic establishment and publicly questioned what Black voters were receiving in exchange for their unwavering loyalty. He helped lead…
