Can Alsobrooks and Harris break racial and gender barriers by not talking about them?

Maryland has never elected a Black woman to the U.S. Senate. Indeed, voters in the Free State have only sent a handful of Black men to the U.S. House of Representatives since Reconstruction and just one white woman to the Senate.

Shouldn’t voters be energized by this important opportunity? (Photo Credit: Amy Davis/Staff)
