Beyoncé Monument In The Works

Beyoncé may soon possibly remain in Houston permanently. Marcus Mitchell and Steve White tells Houston’s Fox News their initiative on building a landmark in honor of the songstress. Uh, oh oh.

“She is the number 1 entertainer from Houston. She’s in the prime of her career, producer, actress; Houston is proud and she comes back to Houston often. We wanted to construct, like, a massive hall so as the doors open, if you donated to the monument, you’ll have a separate nameplate, There will be clips of Beyonce with Destiny’s Child and wardrobe like a mini museum.We’ve gotten support from the city of Houston, from the mayor. We’re waiting for a very nice letter from the mayor right now.”

Rutgers Course Inspired By Beyoncé

Like her hubby, Bey’s musical influence is being taught in schools. Rutgers University’s Department of Women Studies offers the course, “Politicizing Beyoncé”. Doctoral student and lecturer Kevin Allred says:

This isn’t a course about Beyoncé’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend. Rather, the performer’s music and career are used as lenses to explore American race, gender, and sexual politics. It’s important to shift students away from simply being consumers of media toward thinking more critically about what they’re engaging on a regular basis.
