“It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero (BALTIMORE – January 19, 2023) – Just like we could not expect Pres. Barack Obama to reverse over 500 years of North American racial subjugation in a mere 8 years – just like we could not expect Deion Sanders to single-handedly augment the trajectory for HBCU sports – and just like we could not expect Jackie Robinson somehow to bring home all of the current deliverables for Black professional ball players in American baseball…

I am the master of my fate:   I am the captain of my soul. – William Ernest Henley (BALTIMORE – January 11, 2023) – J. Howard Henderson, former President and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Urban League, just gave me the word. Henderson said he lost a friend yesterday, Otis Warren. We lost a business titan in Baltimore whose name is synonymous with real estate. The indomitable Otis Warren took over his father’s property management business which include collecting rent and transformed it into a real estate brokerage. No one article can do justice to the legacy he established.…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – January 10, 2023) – Had a conversation today with a Baltimore City Assistant State’s Attorney who has a very real message for all drug dealers, criminals, vagrants, loiterers, and those engaged in unsavory behavior in the City of Baltimore that is helping to destroy what beauty is left, be forewarned. The word from the top is ‘get it all in’ before February 1st. Come Wednesday, February 1st, 2023, Ivan Bates, the new state’s attorney, is going hard in the paint. There are expected to be more arrests and stiffer sentencing in Baltimore. Violent offenders…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – January 5, 2023) – The entire city is talking about Ivan Bates’ inauguration speech. I was watching it, but I got distracted by gunshots and touting outside my window. I did see the mayor and the police commissioner. I have learned from some of the best psychologists in the world who have reiterated over the years the significance of body language. The psychologists I am referring to are former felons. I have learned that nobody studies people more than inmates, and body language is indeed a form of communication. How we present ourselves says…

(WASHINGTON, DC – December 28, 2022) – Hi, I’m Doni Glover, America’s biggest fan of Black-owned businesses! 12 years ago in Washington, DC, BMORENews.com linked up with Sisters4Sisters Network, Inc. and held our very first business awards ceremony. We then did a huge business awards event together at the United Nations in New York City, thanks to Bob Ingram and Janet Salazar. In what has evolved into a movement, BMORENews and its partners have presented the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Award to more than 2,000 honorees in 9 US cities: New York, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans,…

Early Voting starts Thursday. And coming around the bend in what looks like a three-horse race for the next Governor of Maryland on the Democratic side is Comptroller Peter Franchot, former US Secretary of Labor Tom Perez, and Rhodes Scholar/Veteran/former Robin Hood CEO Wes Moore. To say…

Mary Miller for her comments about protecting “White life”. I really don’t have a problem with her honesty. Was it tacky? Absolutely, but it was truthful. I can deal with someone like Miller a lot better than I can with a dishonest person who lies about who they are. Sidebar: One thing I still can’t understand, however, is the Black men standing behind her in the shot; they were…

Through it all, I have also seen the maturation of Black political power here in a now “purple” state – to use Catalina Byrd’s description. Today, in 2022, African Americans have made unprecedented strides politically. Blacks in Annapolis are pushing the…

Kelley. She was my college professor at Coppin. She taught political science. She was not just some ordinary state representative. No siree Bob! She taught the course not just literally, but she lived, ate, and breathed politics. She knows Annapolis and the legislative process inside and out and can share a bit about the history…

Tell the truth and shame the devil. Thiru is on…
