Someone once said that being a journalist is like having a front row seat to history. Well, I've been sitting in that seat for more than 15 years and I want to share the view with you. Front Row will keep you informed of what's really going on in your community and across the nation. Send news tips, pictures, or videos to michellemccalope@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you!

Comedian Dick Gregory Wows the Crowd
Hundreds turned out for the Texas Black Pages/Cush Banquet Thursday night at the Compro Event Center in Beaumont. The night included great music by the Clef band, good food, a performance by the Central Medical Magnet High School Band, awards, and a keynote speech by Mr. Gregory. He was very funny and very outspoken to say the least on a variety of topics from Black healthcare to politics. Mr. Gregory is 77 years old and he still has a lot of energy. It was great to meet him and see him. Congrats to Jessie Haynes and Tracie Payne!
