“We are deeply and profoundly sorry: For decades, The Baltimore Sun promoted policies that oppressed Black Marylanders; we are working to make amends”.
The Baltimore Sun published an editorial on Friday apologizing for its lengthy history of racism.
Is an apology enough?
Dr. Kaye, Senator Jill P. Carter and journalist Charles Robinson III weigh in on the local newspaper’s role, bigotry and how it “sharpened, preserved and furthered the structural racism that still subjugates Black Marylanders in our communities today.”
Today, we’re publishing an editorial from our opinion section that chronicles The Baltimore Sun’s history in covering the Black community.

We also apologize for The Sun’s failures in that coverage.https://t.co/hk81SaGL24 pic.twitter.com/J6fbZVC9yR
