“It’s impossible not to think about our past and our path. We’re blocks away from the Annapolis docks, where so many enslaved people arrived in this country against their will. ... We have made uneven and unimaginable progress since then.”
Wes Moore, an Army veteran and former nonprofit executive, was sworn in Wednesday as Maryland’s first Black governor. He’s the third Black person to be elected governor in US history. “It’s impossible not to think about our past and our path. We’re blocks away from the Annapolis docks, where so many enslaved people arrived in this country against their will,” Moore said in his inaugural speech after being introduced by Oprah Winfrey, who endorsed him during the election.
“We must refuse to accept that,” the Democrat said. “Instead I’m asking you to believe that Maryland can be different.” Moore also focused on the economy in the state and said “we do not have to choose between a competitive economy and an equitable one.” The new governor said the state can attract and attain top industries, such as aerospace, clean energy and cybersecurity, while raising the minimum wage.
