The Glover Report: THE POWER OF ONE: What Happens We We Work Together: Black, Brown, and Otherwise:
During a stop in Wilmington yesterday, we had the distinct pleasure of meeting Leonard Young, the founder and creator of www.DelawareBlack.com.
Meeting Mr. Young, to say the least, was so refreshing, so powerful, so encouraging. He is a reminder that one is not alone. Even though the battle to build black businesses can sometimes be challenging, Young’s work clearly shows the power of one.

TGR: The State of Black America: Is Black America Hopeless?:
During a recent conversation with a dear friend, it came to light that some people have concluded that the black race in America is hopeless. Given the complexities of the plight of the African in America, a journey that goes back some 500 years, I can certainly understand the plethora of reasons one might come to such a conclusion.

TGR: Thank You for Supporting BMORENEWS.com:
I just wanted to take a minute - in the midst of all of this snow - to thank you, the reader/visitor - for visiting our website, www.bmorenews.com. Last month, January, was record-breaking with over 871,000 hits and some 29,000 unique visitors. For us, this is incredibly worthy of celebration.
You come from - on average - some 80 different countries around the world. Hence - merci, gracias, kamsameeda - it all means 'Thank you.'
I am reporting to you from Prince George's County, the richest black jurisdiction in the country, which seems so appropo - considering that this is Black History Month.
For me, to grow BMORENEWS.com in Baltimore and expand to the District of Columbia and Prince George's County is simply a dream come true. After all, we view ourselves as "the little engine that could".
In the beginning, few understood - let alone believed - in our mission: to educate, inform, and inspire. So many times, I heard doubters louder than supporters. However, we stayed focused on the light. And so we shall remain.
Today, some say we are a force with which to be reckoned. Our forte is black business and black politics. In short, we try and keep it real. If a politician is not serving the black community, we make it known. If a black business is doing something worthy, like Visionary Marketing Group's big Minority Business Summit next Thursday and Friday, we celebrate it. Additionally, we believe that ex-offenders, housing, and health care are of the highest of priorities.
This will always be our focus, no doubt.
Keep watching BMORENEWS.com, the news before the news where we uncover the truth.

TGR: A Grateful Black America: President Demonstrates He “Gets It”:
Anyway, as I am reviewing emails and news items since Inauguration, I noticed that in less than 12 weeks, the President has already begun addressing much of bmorenews.com’s Black Agenda.
As reiterated time and time again, www.bmorenews.com’s leadership has long ago determined that black business, public education, ex-offender services, universal access to housing and universal access to health care would comprise our black agenda, i.e. our priorities. The goal was to keep them simple and doable.
