The journey "is about marching forward," Moore said Wednesday.With his son under his raised arm and his wife holding a Bible that once belonged to Frederick Douglass, Wes Moore on Wednesday was sworn in as the first Black governor of Maryland, the only Black governor currently in office and one of only three Black governors elected in U.S. history.Moore's inauguration was held at the Maryland State House -- the nation's oldest state Capitol still in continuous use and walking distance from a dock that was once one of the largest slave ports in America.
