--------
Maryland Governor Wes Moore recently discussed his groundbreaking position as only the third elected Black governor in U.S. history and the first for Maryland. Moore acknowledged the rarity of his achievement and emphasized the historical significance, sharing how he began his inauguration day at the Annapolis docks, a major historical slave port, to honor the journey and struggles of African Americans. He pointed out the “uneven and incomplete” history of the U.S. but maintained that progress is achievable. Additionally, Moore highlighted the lack of female Black governors, underscoring a need for continued progress in representation. Moore praised Vice President Kamala Harris, not just for breaking barriers but for her vision for the future, which he parallels with his objectives as governor. Moore emphasized he’s focused on fulfilling his assignment to impact lives positively, beyond just making history.
