Support Independent Black Journalism

For over 50 years, The Black Explosion has served as a trusted voice for the Black community at the University of Maryland. Since 1970, our publication has worked to connect news, culture, and conversation while amplifying stories that matter to our community.

Your support helps us continue this mission. Donations go toward producing quality journalism, supporting student writers and photographers, preserving Black history on campus, and ensuring that important stories continue to be told. As a student-led publication, every contribution helps us expand opportunities for young journalists and maintain a platform dedicated to truth, culture, and community.

Every contribution—no matter the size—helps sustain a platform that informs, uplifts, and represents the voices of our community. Your generosity allows us to continue sharing stories that inspire dialogue, celebrate Black culture, and document the experiences of generations of students.
