Home Agency Insights Celebrating Baltimore's Rich Local Heritage of Black Culture and Tradition |
By idfive \ June 17, 2022 |
While Juneteenth (June 19) has been a long-celebrated day within the Black community, it was only made an official federal holiday in 2021. Also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day, this holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. |
As we take this day to reflect on the victories, struggles, and continuous fight to end racism and inequality, we've compiled a list of resources and content highlighting authors, artists, events, and work that advances the cause of Black liberation in Baltimore (and beyond). |
Juneteenth in Baltimore |
Join us in exploring and celebrating Baltimore's rich local heritage of Black culture and tradition by checking out the following resources: |
The Real Baltimore Is a Place Brimming With Black Joy is a beautiful tribute to Baltimore's Black community by award-winning travel writer and published poet Briona Lamback. Her words capture the joys, sorrows, and love for the Baltimore of her youth and her optimism for a bright future. |
The Peale Center is building the world's most extensive digital collection of Baltimore's stories and artists. Established by Rembrandt Peale in 1814 and reopened in 2016 as a Community Museum, the Peale Center wants to evolve the role of museums as a place for local creators and storytellers to find the support they n... |
No list that celebrates Black culture and tradition could be complete without mentioning AFRAM! AFRAM is one of the largest African American festivals on the East Coast, celebrated at Druid Hill Park. Thousands of people flock to Baltimore to enjoy world-class entertainment, delicious local eats and buy from their vend... |
Take a deep dive into the personal politics of Black joy with Black Boy Smile, A Memoir in Moments by Baltimore native and University of Baltimore Professor D. Watkins. It chronicles Watkins' childhood in a city where poverty and a drug epidemic thrust him into an adult world no child should face. His story of heartbre... |
Exploring Black Art and Culture |
Can't make it to Baltimore for Juneteenth weekend? Refresh on recent conversations surrounding Black culture and community without leaving home: |
Read the BOMB Magazine interview of Mary Lovelace O'Neal. O'Neal is an accomplished and influential abstract painter whose work Running Freed More Slaves Than Lincoln Ever Did is currently on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art. With one painting title alone, she's able to summarize so much of a perspective that's c... |
Episode 2 of Home on Apple TV+ centers around artist, and urban planner Teaster Gates, whose steadfast work in elevating the cultural infrastructure of his Chicago Southside neighborhood is a model for engaged community members everywhere. |
High on the Hog on Netflix explores the origins, history, and evolution of Black cuisine, as well as its expansive and prevalent influence on how all Americans eat. You'll learn a lot, but you'll also want to keep a towel handy because your mouth will water. |
While Juneteenth is a day of celebration, it's also important to take a step back and think about the history of Black people in the US. While this holiday commemorates the end of slavery, there's still a long road ahead of us and many things that we still have to do. Societies evolve not because one incredible person ... |
The life in which we live is never complicated. It keeps only two laws, that is; the laws of nature and the laws of life. However, we still manipulate these two set of laws and in our own peril add different set of laws. This as a result brings fragments and patches which renders no subtilty in our living. In simple te... |
In this article, we are going to demonstrate the better ways to build personality. We are not going to touch the complex aspect of it but rather, we will simplify the vital elements to your comprehension. You will at least, get to know where and how to start building your own world. |
It is the set of emotional qualities, ways of behaving and the attractive qualities that make a person different from the other. |
How you act and react, the way you talk, eat, walk and sleep are all the things which makes you different from other people. You behave the way you do because that is what you are made of. |
What we actually mean here s that; the kind of recommendation given by your friends determines who you are and what you can do. You certainly play peculiar role which nobody else can play. Knowing this is a half journey-completed for success. |
At least, you know one or two uniqueness of your personality. You know the exact reasons why people call you for service. You know the things you do in public to announce your presence. Alright, can we say or conclude that you really enjoy and feel comfortable in all those outputs? |
If yes, then all you need to do is to just scrutinize your habit (things you repeatedly do). Then, check the activities that really links to your habit. |
If you like talking and people always get excited engaging in your conversation, try something like radio broadcasting, you will get listeners. |
If you are curious and always ask questions. People get bored engaging in your conversation. You always want to know why events happens. Try something like scientific research, you will come out being a prominent scientist. |
If you like reading fiction. Don’t look to any other profession than an author, journalist or broadcaster. |
For non-fiction. You are not far from being an author, writer or a columnist. You can go around giving presentations. |
If your curiosity looks more complex, that is; you always want to try doing something on your own. Involve yourself in the engineering field, better still you can be a programmer. |
These are just introductory illustrations. Nevertheless, you can still try searching for your corresponding field to your behaviour. Even in business, there are fields where there are peculiarities. If you hate talking and entertaining people, don’t harm yourself by selling, you will not get customers. |
Be conscious about all the actions you will take in your life. Know your actions when you are happy, the same way that you have to know your actions when are angry. Always plan and know what you are doing. |
Someone has sell pure water and through that, has been able to build a house. You and I know this person loves making friends and always smile to whoever she sees. You aren’t like that, so why are you forcing yourself to be like her? |
Always do what makes you happy. What you take ecstasy doing is what you can do better. Never say medical doctors are paid well and so you will read medicine in the university. Hell no! you will get over 1,000 readers in just one week just for one book that you write. |
You are unique. Following the masses might be the reason for your several failures. Stop following them for once. So far as we are different, everybody is having a different way of reaching the apex of success. Know yourself and know what you love doing. That is all. |
Never oblige yourself with education. It is just a candlestick. Anyone who has it chooses to light it or not. If you can read and write, that is all. Focus on your passion, you don’t need any imports of interests, you already have it. Build on it, spend time to make any task successful and appreciable. When people star... |
Try and make the necessary checks, know yourself and what you love doing. Your field or profession is what you always feel like doing. |
What do I mean by incomings and outgoings? Your incomings are the things you sit and plan to do. Your outgoings are the things you do for people to benefit. Your incomings must strictly correspond to your outgoings. Don’t do things you didn’t plan for. |
If you know what you are thinking, there is no doubt for knowing what you are doing. When you continue doing this, I can assure you that, the reason for your failures will only be you and that is where you are going to build from. With this, you shall become perfect. What’s next after becoming perfect in doing somethin... |
One reason why we prolifically fail is that, we try importing people’s ideas, plans and tasks. We copy other people’s styles which have nothing to do with our personality. Like examination malpractice, we steal people’s work and writings. Because we don’t know what we are doing, we don’t know what they are doing and so... |
Bitterly, we are ignorant of our mistakes because we don’t know where they came from. This condition only happens when you do something out of your personality. Both your incomings and outgoings have been misrepresented. |
Let anything that you do, come from your own self. Love what you are doing. Always do what you feel happy doing. Your interest is your profession<eot>By AudioBook Reviewer on 03-22-19 |
Pray Lied Eve 2, Further Tales of the Untoward written by Lydia Peever. The narration is provided by D. Michael Hope. The total running time on this collection of short horror stories is 2 hours and 2 minutes. In the second collection of the authors work the listener is treated to 6 short stories. The Ringer, Jack and ... |
The entire collection was a fun scary listen. Ms. Peever really seemed to take the creepy level from the last collection of stories and distill them down in size but up in potency. The last collection had 3 stories with near the same running time we now get 6 stories. The one story that really stuck with me was Jack an... |
The entire collection of stories in Pray Eve Lied 2 does an excellent job of holding the listener's attention during the 6 stories. The stories all have a great ability to hold the listener attention through some of the stories going on a weird, creepy, uncomfortable journey. An example would for this listener while he... |
The narration by D. Michael Hope was again a truly enjoyable audio performance. The narrator turned in another memorable cast of characters in this production. Mr. Hope performed Ms. Peevers work with style and flourishes and gave these characters life. Each character was given unique voices that were memorable and oft... |
Paranopoly is written by Peter Nuttall. The narration for this audiobook is provided by Hannibal Hills. Paranoply has a total running time of 6 hours and 51 minutes. During that time the listener will be taken into a unique world created by the author. The listener is challenged to question if our lives are ruled by fa... |
The thought that the consequences of a childish game of six friends using a The Ouija board; on what would be their last night together for over 25 years was interesting. The author does an amazing job of creating memorable characters and locations. They are quirky and entertaining at first but become tiring rather qui... |
The narration by Hannibal Hills is really enjoyable. This is my first time hearing an audio performance from the talented narrator Hannibal Hills. Mr. Hills provides excellent voices to the characters in this cast of characters from his voicing of the seemly sad sack character of Simon to the opposite side of the coin ... |
This is a story of growth for Jacob and the many twists and turns taken to be true to oneself. An epic battle between good and evil finds an unlikely hero. Jacob was turned into a dark knight for the beast below, until his untimely death brings about Jacob's freedom centuries later. Now Jacob finds himself in a quandar... |
CT Phipps vividly describes the characters and storyline clearly. For me, I found this book very well done. I enjoyed his change in writing style – I enjoy his pop culture references in the Villainy series, but this book demonstrates with clarity his true skill at writing. I found his switch in writing styles to be ref... |
The storyline was well done and the characters each had depth. I enjoyed (ok, weird I know) the struggle Jacob had in rediscovering himself and making the journey to become good. His struggles were well written, and the dialog also flowed smoothly. |
I do not remember ever hearing Peter Berkrot narrate before, but he was good. He has the tone of voice and cadence I think Jacob would have. The drama of the story was easily translated by Berkrot's performance. His narration performance was well suited and fit this book very well. |
I did not encounter any difficulties with the production or quality of this audiobook. I also want to say that this could have easily become one of those books where they could have added music and sounds, thank goodness they did not! The quality of this audiobook was perfect! |
Hacking for good can go wrong quickly |
For parents and younger readers, I do not remember there being any vulgar language in the book. If there were, it was not obvious while I listened. I did not make note of it for this review which usually means there was none. There are a few light adult topics and romance, but nothing that was overly done. For the youn... |
In summary the book was worth my time and I can tell the author put a fair amount of research into the politics and concept of such an endeavor. The characters were solid, the locations were vivid, and the story itself was a rollercoaster of ups and downs as we get a glimpse into Mia's life and activity. What would I h... |
If you are a person who likes your horror more on the disturbing side of the fence, and you find yourself drawn to movies such as Saw, Friday the 13th, etc., "Wildlife: Reckoning" the latest work published in audiobook format by Jeff Menapace might be just what you are looking for in your next listen. This is only the ... |
As stated above, the horror genre is not really something that I seek out, but I have read another book by the author (more dystopian) and I think very highly of the narrators. For me, the writing and flow was done very well. The plot flowed at a decent speed and there were times I was wondering what was going to jump ... |
Let me turn to the audiobook's narration. From my initiation into audiobooks, the name Jeff Hays has always been the one who was setting the bar for production quality. Now that he has formed Soundbooth Theatre, he has brought in some of the best of the best narrators to help out. I do enjoy Annie Ellicott's ability to... |
For parents and younger listeners, I would say up front that this audiobook is not at all appropriate for non-mature listeners. There are graphic scenes of violence, heavy use of profanity, and mature sexual topics or subject matter that just would not be good for a younger reader. Some or all of these are on nearly ev... |
In summary, if you are one who enjoys very dark and alarming stories, I think you will like listening to this audiobook. If you often shy away from this genre of material, like me, you may want to give it a pass. The people are rather strange, the situations are over the top, and the horror is rather graphic and descri... |
Who do you send where law don't even feel safe? |
If you are a fan of science fiction bounty hunter type stories in the likes of "The Roak" series by Jake Bible or "The Coilhunter" series by Dean Wilson, you will find the first book in the "Children of Titan" series called "Titanborn" to be a welcomed listen. The book is very well written by Rhett C. Bruno and the aud... |
The world, both our planet and others in our solar system, are very different from how we know them today. In the not so distant future, a devastating event happens when a meteor (or m-day) thrusts humankind out to the edges of our solar system in an attempt to survive. Our story takes us from Earth to the moon, and a ... |
Instead of evolving into a better society for our future, in this book we see that all of the populated parts of the solar system have degraded into a gritty and grimy place where you either conform, corrupt, or collide with the law; often run by companies. Yet, we see that even in this story, there are places where no... |
What would I have liked to have seen more of? I am a person who enjoys tech and the actual events that occur during space travel. I felt the author focused more on the procedural chase and left out more of the detailed aspects around space travel itself. We often are transferred in a flash from one planet to another wi... |
I have been a fan of R. C. Bray's narration for years now, and I was excited to see him performing this new science fiction series. He has a smooth yet gritty voice that does the main character justice in this book. He is also a skilled narrator who is able to give each character their own unique characteristics and pe... |
For parents or younger readers, I would say this book is more geared toward a mature audience. As stated previously, there is alcohol and drug use, sexual themes, and some heavy vulgar language. Nothing was excessive compared to other works in the genre but be aware they are here in this book as well. I understand when... |
In summary, Titanborn looks like it is off to a good start as a new science fiction bounty hunter series. Although most of the story's plot lines were closed when the last chapter was heard, there are a number of remaining questions leaving the way for the next in the series. If you like your science fiction to be grit... |
A Key Question for the Hiring Manager |
When you go for a job interview, you should have questions for the hiring manager about the job. In fact, it doesn't look good if you have none. But if you are really interested in the position, you naturally will want to know as much about it and the company as you can. |
There is one very important question that should always be on your list, one that will tell you a lot about the situation you are walking into. It is a simple question, but quite revealing – Why is the position open? There is a limited range of answers to this question, all of which can tell you a lot about the company... |
1. It's open because the company is expanding. |
This is a reassuring answer. If a company is growing, that is a good sign. It generally means that it has competent management, that there are more opportunities for you as a new hire, and that it will work to keep its employees happy. |
So, if you don't hear anything about growth when the hiring manager answers your question, be sure to ask about it. |
2. It's open because the person was promoted. |
This is another good answer. If someone was promoted, it means that the company likes to advance people from within and could also mean that the company is growing. One thing to keep in mind if you hear this answer, however – you will be taking over for an exceptional performer, and your work will be compared to this p... |
3. It's open because someone was let go. |
It's important to learn more about why the person was let go, and so you may need to ask some follow up questions here. If the person was let go because he or she was incompetent, you will look better by comparison, so that is good for you. On the other hand, it could be that the company has unreasonable expectations a... |
4. It's open because the person quit. |
This answer should raise a very big red flag. There are benign reasons for a person leaving, ones that should not raise concern. The person may be retiring, or have health issues, or want to relocate. But most of the time, the reasons are not so innocuous. Many people leave because of problems with their supervisor, or... |
If you get this response, you need to probe more deeply to learn what you can about the reasons for leaving. Keep after it until you are comfortable with the answers you are getting and know what you are getting into. |

Recent Montague (MI) High School grad Brandon Moore attended the American Youth Basketball Tour (AYBT) Fort Wayne event three times. |
And in those three years, the prep basketball and football standout won the event's slam dunk competition every time. |
But it wasn't all just about Moore's high-flying theatrics that he remembers about his AYBT experience. |
"I played with a group of guys from my high school team," said Moore, who is now readying himself to play for the Ferris State Bulldog football team this fall. "We'd go down there as a group and go up against the best AYBT teams in the best bracket." |
For Moore, who is still considering a tryout for the Bulldog basketball team once his duties on the gridiron are finished, the fact that he got to play with his high school teammates – as opposed to just being put on a random team a la some other summer leagues – certainly help his squad once the regular season came ro... |
"AYBT helped us learn how to play better as a team," said Moore, whose coach at Montague, David Osborne, has often emphasized how participating in AYBT has helped his squad remain competitive. "While other (summer basketball leagues) may be more competitive up and down the roster, AYBT was competitive enough to challen... |
Montague's teams have seen quite a bit of success over the past several seasons, including a Class C state semifinal appearance in 2009 and an undefeated regular season in 2011, as well as a few West Michigan Conference titles to boot. During that time, Moore often has been the team's most explosive player on the floor... |
But it was his incredible vertical prowess that many AYBT folks remember about Moore's game. This was especially true following Moore's third-straight dunk title in Fort Wayne. |
"There were definitely some high-flyers (there)," said Moore, with a chuckle. "Every year, the competition forced me to become a little more creative with my dunks. Every year, I had to come up with something new." |
Now, on the cusp of the start of his collegiate sports career, Moore was eager to take a moment to reflect on the good times he had during events like AYBT Fort Wayne. |
"More than all the other things I did in high school, the camps and other (programs)," said Moore, his voice trailing off for a moment. "The thing I remember most about AYBT was the good times we all had together." |
Then he added, "We just had a lot of fun." |
