TV SHOW LAUNCHED JUNETEENTH 2026
Rooted & Rising - that's how we see Black children and adults in Montgomery County. Tune in monthly for a unique 30-miinute show about ALL THINGS BLACK IN EDUCATION AND LIFE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. From public school to politics; shout outs to Black MCPS students to Black business spotlights; mutual aid supports to action items to support the success of Black students in and outside of school. We've got the news and Black joy we knew you needed.
BLACK REPORTERS ON DUTY
DID YOU KNOW THAT BLACK REPORTERS ARE NOT IN COUNTY LEADERS' AND CANDIDATES' PRESS CONFERENCES ASKING QUESTIONS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?
Well, not any more.
Our county-based reporters ask questions from Black residents' perspectives and investigate what matters most to us. We don't just parrot the words of local leaders or give surface level newsbite highlights. We also help shape the narrative about Black folks in Montgomery instead of having it shaped by others.
