(RANDALLSTOWN – May 2, 2022) – She’s from Norfolk, Virginia. She’s 86-years-old and was educated at Virginia State University, Purdue University, New York University, and at the University of Maryland. Further, she was my professor at Coppin State when it was still a college. She’s been a member of the Maryland State Senate since 1995, after serving a term as a delegate representing the 10th state legislative district. This includes a majority Black portion of Randallstown, i.e. the Liberty Road Corridor. Over the years, state Senator Delores G. Kelley has worked her way up through the ranks, she has earned…

Jeremiah Wright used to say, “If you see a good fight, get in it!” Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby is officially running for her third term, and I, for one, support her. For the record, I previously worked on two unsuccessful campaigns against her. However, this time around – given the…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – December 11, 2022) – An extraordinary word of thanks must be expressed regarding Peggy Morris and the Sisters4Sisters Network, Inc. for being “A1” from “Day 1”. As a Black man in America who has covered news from East Baltimore to the Middle East and East Africa to the West Wing of the White House – and I say this with all due respect, there is nothing like the love and support of our beautifully powerful Black women. Sure, people have visited BMORENews.com from all over the world, and we pray we give them a…

BMORENews.com 2002-2022, 20th Anniversary Reflection By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – November 28, 2022) – African Americans comprise some 63% of the population of Baltimore City. We make up 30% of the state. We have Blacks in every stratum of government and we have Blacks on boards of major foundations right here in the City of Baltimore. Yet, the news coverage of this very same community is so often framed by people who do not look like us, and frankly, it leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore, BMORENews.com has tried to fill that void for the past 20 years.…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – November 11, 2022) – If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet Wes and Dawn Moore, I encourage you to take the time to do so. They are a very approachable couple – with two beautiful and polite children, Mia and James. I had the chance to cover the Moore family this afternoon at the Baltimore Convention Center as former Baltimore Raven Jameel McCain and the Salvation Army of Central Maryland joined forces to feed 5,300 families. Honest to goodness, I photographed countless Marylanders meeting Moore for the very first time. They all were…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – November 13, 2022) – How will Wes fare? Already, the mainstream press is questioning his ability to govern 40,000 state employees and the political machinations of Annapolis. The Sun noted his lack of political experience – “aside from a few internships and a yearlong fellowship in Washington, D.C.” Is running a government different from running a huge nonprofit? Yep! Different from serving as a Captain over 190 or so soldiers in a war zone with real bullets flying? Sure is. No, Wes didn’t take the standard route to politics. No, he did not. He did…

“The squeaky wheel gets the oil” By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – November 12, 2022) – Questions were immediately swirling. ‘What will a Wes Moore Administration mean for Black people?’ tends to be the lead query. As a political newcomer, can he navigate Annapolis? Can he handle the sharks? another asked. I am reminded that Moore went from 2% in the polls to victory against a couple of seasoned politicos. First, he outraised the field in terms of money. Secondly, he majestically weaved national celebrities into the fold. I think that was quite brilliant, especially Oprah. Oprah, who also supported…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – November 8, 2022) – It’s official. Westley Watende Omari Moore – a successful investment banker, author, and television producer – has become the first Black Governor of the State of Maryland. Black people just south of the Mason-Dixon Line – as well as all Marylanders – should be proud. As a Black journalist who has covered state politics for the past quarter century, I know I am. The ancestors cheer from the other side. They shed tears of joy for finally Maryland is living up to the original vision of George Calvert, its founder. The…
