U.S. racial riots in Baltimore, Maryland, in April 2015

04/28/2015

A city with many black officials in government, and with Democratic party Governor O'Malley in Maryland, sees widespread racial rioting in 2015. The decline in good manufacturing jobs, drug use and abandoned homes, all play a part in the sense of hopelessness in the city. Compared to Ferguson, Missouri, the problems in Baltimore come less in poor white-black relationships, and more from economic decline, a failing school system and crime.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
