We still spend to much time discussing why Black Baltimore is fragmented vs. executing things that will have a serious impact on the lives of others. Things like mentoring youth, Black business development and working together across religious and political lines... Just a thought! Stay encouraged.

During the slavery period, the proceeds from the sale of slaves of Baltimore went towards public education. And the proceeds were high indeed since Baltimore was a major port city. Many a slave were housed downtown and then shipped off at the harbor - including children. So when you I read things like this...it's just more of the same. It's a truly sad state of affairs.
