The Glover Report
The Glover Report: Family, Schools and Churches:
Even more, his presentation before Associated Black Charities of Maryland at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum on Wednesday afternoon went into what he believes are the three major anchors of the black community that must be re-engaged such that black America can be all that it is supposed to be. After all, with the election of President-elect Barack Obama, this is supposed to represent a new beginning. Read in Full >>
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 >>
The Glover Report: What A Beautiful Time To Be Black:
Tonight, the Greater Baltimore Black Chamber of Commerce (GBBCC) has requested I give some closing comments at our monthly meeting. Being the first time this group has convened since the election of President-elect Barack Obama, it is painfully obvious that the efforts of people like GBBCC President Louis Fields and GBBCC Chair Raymond V. Haysbert ought share a sense of renewed optimism in both our country and ourselves. Read in Full >>
The Glover Report: The Era of Obama:
Today is already the greatest moment in American history. Separate from the annihilation of the indigenous peoples so fondly recognized as the Indians – the Chippewa, the Cherokee, the Cheyenne, the Apache and the Sioux – today, Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 will become the date known throughout that an African American – not quite white like the forty three presidents before him - will become President of the United States of America.

The Glover Report: Checkmate and Back on the Map:
Today, a man we could also classify as mulatto is on the verge of stepping into history … and the White House. And with yesterday’s cosmic endorsement from retired General Colin Powell, Senator Barack Obama has all but sealed victory come November 4, 2008. Likened by pundits to Cicero, Obama gets it. Undeniably American, I think he is the realization of the hopes and dreams of countless freedom fighters like Attucks. As noted by right-winger Armstrong Williams, the hand of God is upon him.

I’m still with Barack and Joe:
The time for change is here. And the question remains: Who will America choose to lead us for the next four years? The same team of folks who stole the election 8 years ago, sat while the Twin Towers went down, never found Bin Laden, constructed an illegal war against Iraq in search of some mass destruction weapons, hung Saddam Hussein and killed his sons, pissed off every dictator from the Westside to the Eastside, turned a deaf ear to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, sent out a bull feces $300 check while raping people at the gas pumps on a regular to the tune of billions, and finally ended with the worst economy since the Great Depression of 1929?

The Glover Report: Fair and Balanced:
Was it me or did it really happen? Absolute denial was the first thing to come to my mind after hearing Republic Presidential nominee John McCain’s presentation at last night’s debate. Read in Full >>
The Glover Report:
As a fruit of the Civil Rights Movement, integration afforded many African Americans the opportunity to leave urban areas – like East and West Baltimore – and head for life beyond the beltway. Read in Full >>
The Glover Report: The Signs of the Times:
A Kenny Harris is not easily duplicated - if at all. However, we, as Americans, find ourselves in dire turmoil desperately in need of leadership. To her credit, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon is returning Baltimore to some civility. At the same time, the purse is low. And with the decisions made by the American government in Washington, DC under the guise and tutelage of President George W. Bush – the amount of money in reserve is getting lower and lower by the hour. Wall Street is about to collapse. Read in Full >>
The Glover Report: Turning Point:
During a recent visit, historian Jean Green took members of our BMORENEWS.com team on a tour of Gettysburg. These are my thoughts: How fitting it is, just a week from the first presidential debate of 2008 between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, to take a brief pause and reflect on how this nation came to be and the progress made during its evolution.
