About this event

  • 2 hours

Join us on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 6 to 8 pm at Coppin State University’s School of Business, located at 2500 W. North Avenue, as we honor Doni Glover’s remarkable 30-year journey in journalism. From his early days at the Sandtown-Winchester Viewpoint Newspaper to his contributions to the Coppin State College Courier, the Afro, the Baltimore Times, the Final Call, and ultimately his own outlet – BMORENews.com, this event commemorates his dedication to news reporting, which began at Coppin. It’s fitting that we celebrate this milestone where it all started.

We invite everyone to join us in honoring journalist Doni Glover. From his roots in East Baltimore to his ventures in East Africa and the Middle East, Glover hosted the longest-running sponsored show at Radio One in the US for 21 years, curated the largest Black news YouTube catalog in the country, and has been the driving force behind BMORENews.com for the past 22 years. In December 2020, Glover expanded his reach with the launch of BlackUSA.News, featuring streaming shows from various regions across the US.

Among his many achievements, Glover holds a special pride in two BMORENews initiatives: the “Love 4 L” ministry, which he established at the former Baltimore City Jail for young individuals aged 14 to 17 facing adult charges, and the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, recognizing entrepreneurship in nine major US cities to date. Reflecting on his journey, Glover often recalls his father’s wisdom: “With a closed hand, nothing gets in and nothing gets out. With an open hand, there are endless possibilities. The moral to the story is to help somebody.”

BMORENews.com

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.
