Superstar Beyonce Knowles proved she is the ultimate diva with her performance literally shutting down the arena at Super Bowl XLVII Feb. 3. Production for the extravaganza reportedly cost over $600,000, including the illuminated video stage which played prerecorded images of the superstar throughout the performance.

Brookshire resident comments on landfill controversy
I think it is high time that someone stood up and spoke out about the litany of rumors, innuendo, and outright falsehoods that have been spewed by a small group of opponents of the Pintail Landfill who feel such tactics are acceptable in order to gain support for their cause. […]

A final Panther farewell
As my time at Prairie View draws to a close, I take this time to reflect on my days on the hill. Coming in as a freshman from the south side of the Chicago, I had many different feelings as I entered college in the fall of 2008. What type […]
A woman of worth
