“Bernita didn’t know that the photo had gone around the world. She didn’t know she was strong and brave and a symbol of our division and a vessel for our fears. She didn’t know that people who didn’t know her thought they knew her.

Maryland's middle school math scores have fallen further than those of any other state in 15 years. And Black students are bearing a disproportionate share of the consequences. My latest for @BaltimoreBanner w/ support from @EdWriters explores why. https://t.co/y9PUdIjvnk

This is my first week at The Banner's new Prince George's County bureau. I'm covering education and all things children and families. I'm so excited to join a newsroom that supports local stories rooted in our communities. Have a story idea? DMs are open!
“We love you, Mrs. Moore!” the students screamed at a surprise pep rally.

This @TexasMonthly story won a Pulitzer today, and rightly so. When it first was published, I had to stop reading it while I sobbed and then pick it up again, several times over. https://t.co/l1kbh05auc
So thrilled for our whole @BaltimoreBanner team to be recognized by the Pulitzer Prizes for a *second year in a row* but especially @lizbowie who helped create this place and is the heart and soul of the Banner!
