By Wayne Frazier.
Op/Ed: Injustice No. 2: WBE's Get Fleeced In State Bid:
Over at the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA), another super duper injustice has occurred.  Sisters and brothers, I mean, this is bigger than the Maryland Aviation Administration/Shuttle Bus debacle because three out of four contractors who submitted hard bids on an $89 million road construction contract met the stated minority and women business enterprise goals and the winner did not in a recent bidding process.  The issue is that the recommended prime contractor with the lowest bid did not meet the stated minority and women business enterprise goals and requested a waiver.

Anthony McCarthy-4
By Anthony McCarthy.
Op/Ed: Journalist Extraordinaire McCarthy Still Fasting for I Can't We Can:

I opened my hand and he poured $4 in quarters into my palm. "That's all I got right now," he said.

I stood there in amazement. So many people are struggling and having such a hard time. But they get it. They seem to understand that some things are worth giving all you have.

Doni Glover in DC

Doni and President Franklin

Meeting Morehouse College President Franklin Was An Inspirational Experience:
He, in fact, is a reminder – with all due respect to all of the black schools out there – why I first chose – at the urging of my high school counselors - to attend Morehouse. It was a vivid reminder of the three semesters I was blessed to be at – in my mind – the greatest institution on the planet with some of the greatest minds I have ever known. Morehouse students like Adam Scott, Leo Hyman and Robbie Scott  from Baltimore and Steven Tolbert, the son of a Liberian president, come to mind. Read in Full >>

Op/Ed: Give Thanks and Praise: Reframing Recession into Abundance:
As we gain perspective and reaffirm our faith, obstacles in our path start to seem less obstructive and more instructive.  Instead of complaining about our empty gas tanks, we begin to appreciate the benefits of walking, biking or taking the bus to work.  After all, most of us could stand to become a bit more physically fit. Walking to work provides us with such an opportunity.  Similarly, taking the bus may relieve the stress of navigating morning traffic jams, and give us time to plan our day more effectively.  Read in Full >>

Op/Ed: The Reckoning of the Uninvited:
Where had these people been before?  Looking at those now around me, I thought how much past voting had been a closed affair.  How much had we come to expect that certain people would just not show up on Election Day – to the point that some politicians even counted on it?  Had our democracy really offered an “open” invitation some people simply weren’t supposed to accept?   Read in Full >>
