The nation’s only sitting Black governor was excluded from an upcoming bipartisan dinner for governors at the White House, a decision he feels could be rooted in racism.
“This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States,” Gov. Wes Moore, Democrat of Maryland, wrote in a statement.
