IN THE PRESS

I was featured in the "National Trust for Historic Preservation’s story on Chesapeake Black History" on August 28, 2025, which highlights the importance of preserving culture, legacy, and community memory. This is just one of my quotes from the article: “It’s critical that we can come together and find ways to not only save land, but save legacy, save buildings, save stories and save artifacts.” – Philip J. Merrill

I was featured in The Afro-American’s article “How Black Businesses Thrived in 1925 Baltimore—and What Entrepreneurs Can Learn Today” published August 12, 2025. In the article, I shared: “If you want a blueprint for success, just look at your history. We’re in troubled times right now in America, but if you look at your history, Black folks have been in troubled times before—and we survived because we found a way to work together, to collaborate.” – Philip J. Merrill
