Today is the last day of Black History Month. For 28 days, we have looked back on the history that has been made by people of color in our city and our nation.
February is Black History Month, and this year, there is much to celebrate! 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and the 150th anniversary of emancipation in Maryland.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As we work each day to help Baltimore City overcome its challenges and become the great American city that we know it can be.
Earlier this week, I joined Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts and community leaders committed to reducing crime in Baltimore City to release the new strategic plan for the Baltimore Police Department.
