For Tammira Lucas, assistant professor of business at Coppin State University, it’s never too early to start teaching young people about money management. As a mother of a ninth grader, Lucas taught her daughter, Ryann, about finances long before she got to high school. Ryann owns a vending machine company, and Lucas requires her to save 20 percent of her monthly income and invest another 20 percent.

Nearly a year ago, the Dali container ship lost power and struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the structure to plunge into the Patapsco River at 1:29 a.m. on March 26, 2025. At the time of the collision, eight construction workers were filling potholes on the bridge and were sent crashing into the water. Only two survived. The disaster temporarily halted access to the Port of Baltimore, the leading U.S. port for automobiles, farm machinery, sugar and gypsum.
