The Glover Report

(BALTIMORE – May 23, 2025) – Eight days apart. That’s all that separates my daughter’s graduation from Coppin State University and mine from Morgan State University. Two generations. Two degrees. Two historically Black colleges and universities — both in the heart of Baltimore. For me, this is more than a personal achievement. It’s legacy. It’s healing. It’s redemption. It’s God. When I first set foot on the campus of Morehouse College, I had no idea my mother would be gone just two years later. She gave everything so I could attend what I still consider the greatest HBCU in America. Morehouse…

TGR: Ode to Ricky: A So Long Celebration at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum (SEE PICS)

“It was great celebration for a man who has always given so much to so many.” – Meshelle Howard (BALTIMORE – March 24, 2025) – The political maneuvers and obstacles Ricky Smith had to navigate while running BWI-Thurgood Marshall Airport would leave many in awe. For those who don’t know, Ricky is Black—and unapologetically so. A proud son of Baltimore, he hails from Whitelock and Brookfield in Reservoir Hill, a community that demands resilience, grit, and excellence from those who emerge from it. Ricky embodies that spirit, representing his family, community, city, and state on the world stage. Tonight, the…

The Freddie Gray Chronicles: A Decade Later: Unanswered Questions Surrounding the Freddie Gray Unrest

(BALTIMORE – March 24, 2025) – Baltimore and the world are approaching the 10th anniversary of the Freddie Gray Unrest, a moment that catapulted Penn-North into the international media spotlight. On April 12, 2015, Gray was arrested at Gilmor Homes in my beloved Sandtown community for allegedly carrying an illegal switchblade. The world watched the footage repeatedly—three Baltimore police officers taking Gray down, one driving a knee into his back. He was clearly injured and unable to walk, yet we saw him being dragged to a police van instead of receiving medical attention. Notably, those officers were white. A decade…

TGR: Standing On Our Blackness (And Unapologetically So!)

(BALTIMORE – March 23, 2025) – In an era where government agencies and federal policies, including historic Civil Rights legislation and DEI, are being gutted, I implore every Black person in America to stand on their Blackness. Our ancestors fought too hard, sacrificed too much, and died too often and too young for us to ever forget or forsake their contributions that afford us to live the lives we live. We remember that bullet that took out Malcolm and the one that took out Martin. We remember Emmett Till, and we remember George Floyd. We remember Tulsa’s Black Wall Street and…

(BALTIMORE – March 20, 2025) – Today marked a powerful resurgence of energy and attention on Sandtown, signaling a long-overdue commitment to revitalization and community engagement. This renewed focus, spearheaded by key leaders at the state and city levels, is breathing new life into a neighborhood that has too often been overlooked. At the state level, Senator Antonio Hayes has been a masterful force in assisting Tracey Malone and directing over $28 million toward the redevelopment of West North Avenue, a vital corridor that runs through Sandtown. This investment is more than just numbers on a page—it represents a tangible…

TGR: Where is America Headed?

(WASHINGTON – March 19, 2025)—Welcome to your America. This country allegedly overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump as president. While many support his recent political efforts, others are deeply concerned about the country’s direction. Around the world, nations are observing as the U.S. seemingly dismantles government agencies and displays a growing disregard for what was once considered the greatest democracy in the world. We were promised a shift in leadership, and it appears we’ve gotten it. I’ve never seen a U.S. president as close with a Russian leader as Trump is with Vladimir Putin. Trump’s business ties with Putin’s Russia are…

The Glover Report: America, Is This Who We Really Are?

(WASHINGTON, DC – March 9, 2025) – Is this truly what America stands for? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat in the Oval Office and was publicly berated by both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. In front of the media, they essentially told him that he had no right to an opinion—especially one that didn’t align with their administration. It was as if they expected Zelenskyy to grovel before Trump. When my family moved back to the Westside of Baltimore, I was about eight years old. Before that, I was an Eastsider. One of my earliest…

TGR: CIAA Rocks Again! “We’re all we got, and we’re all we need!” (SEE PICS)

(BALTIMORE – March 2, 2025) – It was an absolute pleasure to witness the CIAA return to Baltimore once again. From Mayor Brandon Scott to Visit Baltimore’s Al Hutchinson to the incomparable Zack McDaniels, a dynamic mix of leaders and organizers came together to produce yet another spectacular event celebrating HBCUs. This all unfolded in the heart of downtown Baltimore over the past week. Last year, the tournament generated over $32 million in economic impact, and this year’s numbers could be even higher. While Morgan State and Coppin State are not part of the CIAA, the event still honored the rich…
