  Today on Maryland Morning, the revenue from casinos in Maryland is not matching what the state expected, and hasn’t for years. Why not? We ask what that means for the projects and services that gambling revenue is slated to pay for with gaming industry analyst Alan Woinksi and Baltimore Brew's Mark Reutter. 

Then –Tom Hall talks with Loyola assistant professor Kaye Wise Whitehead about her new book,Letters to My Black Sons: Raising Boys in a Post-Racial America.

Plus, slaves brought various food traditions with them to the New World.  How does that show up in the way we understand “Soul Food” today? We talk with College Park professor Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson about her research connecting food ways past and present.
