A big shout out to the #JHUBillieHolidayCenterForLiberationArts for hosting such a spectacular event. We learned so much, found a groove, and loved seeing @IBJHUKSAS and @afrocharities friends there to talk Black Baltimore history! We are GRATEFUL. #JazzInTheSquare

@BaltimoreDPW It’s been more than 24h since new water samples were taken. Possible updates: “Test results are delayed because of x.” “E. Coli still detected. Next step is x.” “All clear. Next step is x.” Come on, y’all.

@BaltimoreDPW when do you expect to receive the results of your most recent water tests in West Baltimore? If results take 24h, where are we on that countdown?

@BaltimoreDPW You need to share this information across all of your channels. Posting only to Twitter is ineffective. There is nothing on your website about this issue.

The Baltimore Afro-American reported on the 'Roller Man,' beginning his 10-day trip Aug. 17th from Chicago to the #MarchOnWashington.

This archive of the country’s longest-running Black family-owned newspaper—the Afro-American, which still publishes today—got its start as what’s known in the newspaper industry as a morgue, a resting place for reference files of newspaper clippings. https://t.co/HIhVCpykUS
