Too Many Disney Movies?

By Daniela Coria – Staff Writer

Many students believe that in this newer generation Disney is making a lot of profits not just from raising its prices for their parks tickets but for movie remakes and sequels as well. The type of argument can be controversial due to people enjoying the remakes with the the technological advancements and they can enjoy their childhood memories remade. But what if it’s not just about childhood memories, what if it’s more of, having too much nostalgia, giving Disney more money than it already has.

In such cases, many say that this generation will not be able to appreciate how the original movies had a special place in one’s heart up until today.

By Elijah Alavazo – Co-Technology Editor

The curtains were drawn at the 61st edition of the Grammy Awards, which was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and was hosted by Alicia Keys.

The show was headlined by names such as Kacey Musgraves and Childish Gambino, who each received considerable attention on the night. Musgraves, a country musician, took home four Grammys, including Album Of The Year for Golden Hour. The Rapper/R&B artist, Gambino, won two major categories in Best Song Of The Year and Best Album Of The Year for his politically-charged This Is America. Donald Glover, the man behind the ‘Bino persona, was not present to collect the honors, presumably to make a statement about the Grammys, or perhaps award shows in general.

By Alberto Diaz – Staff Writer

Ben Affleck has hung up his cape and cowl as Batman. Affleck’s departure from the role of Bruce Wayne was long expected, as the actor went through a rough patch, both personally and professionally, while he portrayed the character.

After he beat out Avengers: Infinity War’s Josh Brolin for the role back in 2013, Affleck’s casting as the Caped Crusader received immediate backlash from comic book fans, with many having claimed that the six foot four actor was not imposing enough for the role. However, Affleck went on to deliver a standout performance as an older, more hardened Batman in the critically panned Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Following the film’s March 2016 release, whispers of Affleck’s possible departure from the DC Extended Universe began.

The Importance of Black History Month

By Joshua Wingo – Staff Writer

Black History Month, also known as African- American History Month, originally began as Negro History week in 1926. It took place during the second week of February due to it coinciding with the birthdates of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
Black history is still important and should be taught to all students, not just African-American students. Students are taught mathematics, science and American history because it is important.
