In a recent broadcast, Lawrence Bell called out the lack of unity within the African American community — pointing to a state senator indicted by the FBI who faced little to no consequences, while Black individuals indicted by the state face a very different reality.
Bell contrasted this with the solidarity shown by other ethnic groups and made the case that Black communities need to match that same energy — economically and politically.
He turned the spotlight back to the Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys, which boasts a 90% graduation rate for Black males, as an example of exactly the kind of institution the community should be rallying behind.
Bell also pushed back against negative self-perception within the Black community, calling for a return to pride in African heritage and a renewed commitment to supporting Black-owned businesses and institutions.
The message was simple: the power is already there — it just needs to be organized.
