    Join us on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 6 to 8 pm at Coppin State University’s College of Business, located at 2500 W. North Avenue, to celebrate Doni Glover's remarkable 30-year journalism career. This special event will feature Glover’s signature business component, the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, which honor Black entrepreneurs, professionals, and their supporters of all races.

    Doni Glover's illustrious career spans multiple esteemed publications, including the Sandtown-Winchester Viewpoint Newspaper, Coppin State's then-College Courier, the Afro, the Baltimore Times, the Final Call, and BMORENews.com. This celebration will highlight his three decades of dedication to journalism, with roots in Baltimore. It is fitting to mark this milestone at Coppin State University, where Glover’s journey began in 1993 with the Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program.

    From East Baltimore to East Africa and the Middle East, Glover has made a significant impact. He hosted the longest-running sponsored show at Radio One in the US, built one of the country's largest Black news YouTube catalogs, and has been the driving force behind BMORENews.com for the past 22 years. This award-winning platform is renowned for correctly predicting the last four governors of Maryland and for extensive coverage of the White House since President Barack Obama's era. Glover has been featured on national platforms like TV One and CNN, and locally on every major station in the Greater Baltimore area, starting with WBAL TV 11. He co-hosts the BMORENews Report on Hip Hop Chronicles with Mike Nyce every Thursday at midnight on WEAA 88.9 FM, broadcasting live from Morgan State University, where he is completing his Master's in Journalism with a concentration in International Affairs in December.

    In December 2020, Glover launched BlackUSA.News featuring streaming shows from across the US. He is particularly proud of two BMORENews projects: the “Love 4 L” ministry presented at the former Baltimore City Jail for 14 to 17-year-olds charged with adult crimes, and the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, which celebrate entrepreneurship in nine major US cities.

    Glover is also a three-time author, with works including "Unapologetically Black: Doni Glover Autobiography" (2015), "I Am Black Wall Street" (2021), and "Journapreneur: Pioneering the Digital Age of Black Journalism" (2024).

    Glover’s favorite quote from his father encapsulates his philosophy: “With a closed hand, nothing gets in and nothing gets out. With an open hand, there are endless possibilities. The moral of the story is to help somebody.”

    Come and celebrate the extraordinary career of Doni Glover, a beacon in journalism and a proud Coppin Alumni.

    BMORENews.com was established on August 9, 2002, by DMGlobal Marketing & Public Relations, LLC. It is a digital news and information outlet based in Baltimore, MD. In December 2020 due to how COVID-19 impacted news coverage, we began streaming. The end-product of our pandemic pivot is BlackUSA.News where we stream 7 days a week from 6 US cities. Hence, we now have a national network comprised of both BMORENews.com and BlackUSA.News with regular contributors from New York, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Oakland, California.

    In 2011, BMORENews.com and Sisters4Sisters Network, Inc. joined forces to present the first-ever Black Capital Awards in Washington, D.C. We also hosted a larger event - the BMORENews Global Forum on Women's Empowerment at the United Nations in Manhattan. The name morphed into the Black Wall Street Awards and we also added in the name of the man who made it possible - the late Joe Manns. He was a business owner who sincerely gave back to the community in a tremendous way - a way in which anybody would be proud - regardless of race, religion, upbringing, and the like.

    To date, we have recognized over 1,900 individuals from 9 US cities with Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards. By definition, we celebrate Black entrepreneurs and professionals as well as the people who support them regardless of race. The aim is to help preserve little-known Black Wall Street history nationally and to help encourage entrepreneurship, beginning in the Black community.

    For more information on Black Wall Street, do check out Doni Glover's "I Am Black Wall Street" on Amazon. In this book, he shares how the people in Tulsa's Greenwood District first got there and from whence they came. His book shows that the Greenwood District was a part of a continuum of freedom colonies dating back centuries in the western hemisphere.
