37 years ago today, Elizabeth Taylor presented Michael Jackson with the Heritage Award at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards and called him 'the true king of pop, rock and soul.' That night, Michael Jackson became the King of Pop.

In journalism we’re used to pointing out problems, not solving them. This was a chance to think differently and offer Baltimore kids and parents solutions. Take a look and tell us what you think. thebanner.com/education/k-12…

For more than a decade I’ve heard Baltimore students and parents complain about the messy and sometimes dangerous process of getting to school. And for more than a decade school leaders have ignored the problem.

Auto insurance must be better regulated by those with the power to control it. When Md drivers register in VA, We Lose. VA Wins. The power elite must crack down on rip-off insurance carriers, not merely the drivers trying to survive and thrive! open.substack.com/pub/jill69…
