The Vikings basketball team ended their season with an 86-59 loss to the Cerritos Falcons, due to Cerritos forward Dorian Tate scoring 29 points.
The Vikings started strong on defense, grabbing numerous rebounds and forcing steals to set the tone early.
“I think we moved the ball well and played solid defense, holding them to just 30 points for most of the first half is a win in itself for us.” said point guard Nathaniel Parris.
LBCC held an early lead midway through the first quarter but couldn’t maintain it, the Vikings were trailing 40-30 heading into halftime.
“Our energy kind of dropped, and they took advantage of it. We weren’t able to respond in time before the half.” point guard Lawrence Brown said.
The Vikings opened the second half flat, failing to secure rebounds and allowing Tate, a leading conference MVP candidate, to capitalize with second-chance points in the paint.
When asked about his matchup, wing Kamron Fontenot acknowledged the challenge.
“He’s an MVP candidate, so battling with him down there is always a plus. He got his numbers, but it was a good fight,” Fontenot said.
Despite the adversity this group has faced this season with coming up short in conference play games, they have continued to grow as a team and develop freshman.
“Theres more opportunities for our freshman group to just get more and more experience,” Brown said.

With this being both the final conference game and Sophomore Night, the Vikings placed a special emphasis on passing the torch to the freshmen and highlighting the next wave of talent.
“The sophomore group leads the freshman as much as possible and makes sure everybody has a straight head. And is good mentally and physically,” Brown said.
The Vikings aren’t just a basketball team they’re excelling in the classroom as well, earning nominations for the Academic Athlete Team with an impressive 3.1 GPA.
“Its about getting education because basketball is a small part of your life, and it’s about getting that degree,” head coach Barry Barnes said.
The Vikings’ 2025–26 season has come to a close with a 5-23 record but the team looks to develop their young talent and add players who can provide a boost in size and presence on the court.
A small group of anti-war protestors appeared before Los Angeles City Hall this Saturday in opposition to the recent attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel.
The group, consisting of representatives from the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), along with people from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), gathered and passed out pamphlets.
Chants such as “Hands off the Middle East, hands off Iran” and “Up, up, up with the students, down, down, down with the billionaires” were heard by speakers off the steps of the city hall.
Many of the protestors wore Palestinian keffiyehs and showed off signs against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), advocating for a diversity of social causes.

CORRECTION: A previous first sentence and a photo caption incorrectly stated that the auditions took place on Feb. 10.
A room full of energy overtook the dance studio, the sounds of feet stomping could be heard and people dropped to the floor as they learned a West African dance that required them to let loose and get out of their comfort zone during the auditions on Feb. 11 for the upcoming spring dance concert.

A dancer in attendance spoke about her experience while learning this dance being that she is new to this dance style.
“It’s definitely different then like modern, western dance, which is usually like more stiff or more upright. So with Western African dance it’s a lot more liberating and it feels free,” Natalia Carrera said.

She added, “It is scary doing something you don’t know but it was a challenge, but it was a fun challenge at the end. It was something I didn’t feel like upset about after that I didn’t get it right. It was more like ‘oh my gosh, this is so fun, I’m going to try it again.’”
Along with the West African dance, dancers first learned a jazzy, upbeat routine that had an edgy twist as it followed rock ‘n’ roll music.

This dance was right up the alley for dancer Cynthia Castro-Reyes who loves performing and being part of jazzy routines.
She expressed that dancing, especially in the genres of jazz and hip-pop help boost her confidence.
“It just makes me feel confident, I feel like everyday like I’m not the most confident person with how I look, or how I’m feeling that day. But when I dance, I feel like I’m the baddest person out there,” Castro-Reyes said.
Reyes has graduated with her associates in dance at LBCC about six years ago and came back to LBCC a year ago solely for the dance show and dance classes.
She has been a part of seven dance concerts at LBCC, and she shared why she feels so comfortable in LBCC’s dance environment.
“I just feel like here you’re able to express yourself more openly without being judged unlike other studios, like in the real world I guess I would say. It’s just I don’t feel as comfortable as an adult dancing there. It’s mainly for you know kids from the oldest 17, after you’re 18,… you don’t really feel as comfortable dancing,” Castro-Reyes said.
She was also thankful for the opportunity to express herself artistically through having a say in decisions, feeling that the environment is “like a collaboration.”
“I feel like here you don’t just dance, they allow you to express yourself and give opinions,” Castro-Reyes said.
Among the many passionate dancers in LBCC’s dance department is Kyrstin Nguyen, a 15-year-old student who is graduating this spring with her associates of arts in dance.
Reflecting back on her journey as a dancer starting at the age of 3, Nguyen noted that this spring dance concert will mark the first time she has had the opportunity to produce her own dance on a large scale.
At the auditions Nguyen was a participant, auditioning to be in the other choreographer’s dances, and she was on the lookout for dancers who could potentially bring her vision for her own choreography to life.
“I’ve always been in choreographic works and I’ve always had choreographers tell me what to do and tell me how they want their piece portrayed. And so it’s really cool to be able to be on the other side of that as a choreographer,” Nguyen said.
When asked about the concept and elements of her dance piece, Nguyen shared details about her visions and creative process.
She explained that it would be about her personal life focusing on how she was adopted and expressed it’s “a piece about discovery.”
“I wanted to tell my story through dance because sometimes, it’s hard to say it in like words or describe it, so I wanted to share it on the stage in front of everyone,” Nguyen said.
Soft lighting, flowy white costumes and a technical based dance is what Nguyen has planned for her contemporary piece that will be shared on stage this spring dance show.
Dancers Carrera, Castro-Reyes and Nguyen all made it into the dance concert.
Every fall and spring semester, the dance department at LBCC puts on these dance concerts featuring original choreography from faculty and student choreographers that are a full scale production with costumes, sets and professional tech.
The Spring 2026 Dance Ensemble In Concert, will debut on May 1 at 7 p.m. and continue for two more shows on May 2 with times of 1 p.m. and 7 p.m..

At 2 p.m., an email from the California State University (CSU) system’s Chancellor was sent to all CSU employees stating that the system is rejecting the proposed agreement with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) regarding a transgender athlete who competed on San Jose State University (SJSU)’s women’s volleyball team and has now filed a lawsuit against the OCR.
Earlier this year, the OCR gave SJSU 10 days to comply with demands on the claims that SJSU violated Title IX, the civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination, allowing equal rights towards education, athletics and protects against sexual harassment, assault and provides protections for pregnant and parenting students.
With the claims of violating Title IX, SJSU risks losing federal funding if it does not comply with what the OCR has proposed.
In the email, CSU Chancellor Mildred Garcia stated, “Here’s why, in the most simple terms: SJSU fully complied with the law and cannot and must not be punished for doing so. I have every confidence that the facts clearly establish that SJSU was in full compliance with both Title IX and relevant NCAA regulations during this time.”
The violation of Title IX comes from the executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” signed in 2025, which states that education systems and athletic programs shall not ignore “fundamental biological truths between the two sexes.”
The Athlete in question is Blarie Fleming, who played for the women’s volleyball team during the 2022, 2023 and 2024 seasons for SJSU, and then graduated in 2025.
Before the 2025 executive order, Title IX prohibited discrimination against and harassment of transgender people, which was in effect during the time Fleming played.
Title IX now being a bargaining tool with education systems is nothing new; the Trump administration created a new Title IX Special Investigations Team to specifically support claims like these in 2025.
In Apr. 2025, the Justice Department sued the state of Maine for allowing transgender students to play in girls’ and women’s sports.
“We are an inclusive institution. Inclusive excellence is perhaps our most fundamental and treasured core value. It is in our DNA. As your chancellor I assure you – that will never change.” stated Garcia in the email
Civil rights activist and Baptist minister Rev. Jesse Jackson died on Feb. 17, according to his family, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.
Despite his decades of leading the call for civil rights, Jackson remains relatively unknown to the majority of college students today.
“Until his death, I don’t think he was really celebrated with this generation,” Black Student Success Coordinator Angela Fowlkes said.
When asking students after his death if anyone knew of the protege who stood beside Martin Luther King Jr. and his beliefs long after his death, many were unfazed.
“I think that it has a lot to do with the lack of institutionalizing a diverse curriculum for students as they’re growing up,” Ethnic Studies professor Juli Grigsby said.
The younger generation, not being exposed to black history, has created a lack of knowledge, where people like Jackson are left unknown.
“I would say that a lot of black history has been a part of public memory, but not public history,” Grigsby said.
Jackson was a part of multiple civil rights movements that continue to affect society presently and paved the way for those in America who did not have a voice.
“Jackson was a part of the anti-apartheid movement for South Africa, he made speeches for the rights of a Palestinian state and for gay rights,” Grigsby said.
Shamika Simpson, a Collection Development and Outreach Librarian for LBCC, shared a similar sentiment as to why students today are not aware of Jackson and his accomplishments.
“The only thing I can think of would be the erasure of black history in terms of early education,” Simpson said.
Under the Trump administration, numerous actions have been taken to try to target museums and education for “Anti-American” ideologies.
“Do you want to actually learn the truth? Do you want to learn cultural competence or are you going to be complacent with what you may or may not have been taught in school,” Simpson said.
Although Jackson stood alongside the historical figures who led the civil rights movement, he remains largely unknown to younger generations.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly named the Party for Socialism and Liberation Long Beach
LBUSD students joined with the Party for Socialism and Liberation Long Beach (PSL) in protesting United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Long Beach’s City Hall on Friday.
Sparked from the recent deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota by ICE agents, a rise in walkouts across California schools was seen in support of those affected by ICE.
Many students from high schools in California walked out of class to attend the event, some of whom have been directly affected by the ICE raids.
“I have some family that are undocumented, and they’re scared to leave their houses. They stay at home, don’t go out for groceries as often, and they don’t go to the park with their kids anymore,” Long Beach Poly senior Finn Lopez said.
Lopez was far from the only student at the event who had people they knew impacted by the raids in California.

“I have not had my family directly impacted, but I’m scared that it might happen one day. I pray it doesn’t happen,” Long Beach Poly student Zyles Monreal said.
The march down the streets of Long Beach was accompanied by the honking of horns from passing cars and chants of “ICE out” from pedestrians on the streets, while demonstrators held protest signs reading anti-ICE sentiments such as “Stop ICE terror now” and “Tear down the borders”.

“I think it’s encouraging to come out and speak out and to not be scared. I came out here to make sure my voice is heard,” said Lopez
As ICE raids continue and tensions continue rising, members of PSL see a growing need for protest.
“I think it’s really important that we all come together and take action at a protest. Hopefully, we can come away with some action items and next steps to get ICE out of our country,” PSL member Bianca Carrillo said.
Lead organizer for the event and director of activist group SoCal Uprising Anthony Bryson, sees the youth as an important part of the fight against ICE.
“We’re hoping to utilize the most recent trending atmosphere of youth and students walking out and encapsulate that towards our advantage and towards the movement of abolishing ICE,” said Bryson.
The Vikings lose big to the El Camino Warriors 11-2 due to mistakes early on in the game at LBCC on Thursday.
The Vikings gave up seven runs along with 2 errors in the ninth inning.
Player Cross Stephens spoke about the Vikings’ loss today.
“I just think we had a few mistakes, and they kept on snowballing. And from there, it got out of control.”
The Vikings walked 3 El Camino players because of hit by pitches, a season high.

Player Erick Espinosa was asked what went wrong in today’s game.
“We struggled as well as last game with not getting the bats off, or swinging right away. Not being aggressive early led to us scoring runs later in the game, which isn’t good enough to win the game,” Espinosa said.
The Vikings only scored 2 runs, one of which coming from a solo homerun by Player Eshua Desai in the 7th inning. The other came from leadoff batter Myles Fendrick, who drove in an RBI single.
Player Tyzer Handy was asked about what’s needed to win games.
“Definitely staying hot once we get a lead, capitalizing on it. Using that momentum to win games,” Handy said.
Despite the poor performance, The Vikings plan to bounce back in their next game.
The Vikings will play on Thursday against Cerritos at 2 p.m. for the second game of the series after winning 7-5 on Tuesday.
LBCC celebrated Black History Month with a karaoke night on Feb. 24, bringing students, staff, and community members together for an evening filled with music, food, and connection.
The event created a welcoming space where attendees could honor Black culture and history through songs.
Chrishaad Moye, an LBCC counselor, emphasized the importance of hosting events like this, saying they give students the opportunity to “see their culture being acknowledged and respected.”
Moye explained that creating spaces where diverse identities and traditions are celebrated helps students feel valued, seen, and supported on campus.
The event started with attendees signing up for songs and taking turns performing to a crowd that cheered them on.
“More than just the negative parts of our history—it’s about recognizing and appreciating the achievements we’ve made.” LBCC student Devyn Harris said.
This wasn’t the first Black History Month event hosted at LBCC. They also have organized a kickoff celebration, a Sip ’n Paint, and a “Meet Your Village” gathering, all aimed at building community and honoring Black culture throughout the month.
“Events like this matter because they give us a sense of community, and I think we need that now more than ever,” Harris said.
“Representation matters,” she explained. “We’re recognizing every culture here at LBCC and making sure everyone’s voice is heard. I think as students we forget to have fun, and this event is a lot of fun for students to come together and build community,” Jackie Moran, an LBCC outreach recruiter, said.
The night featured a mix of songs, from R&B to tracks from “Let it Shine” the movie, with the audience cheering on each performer and keeping the energy lively.
Student Ariel Hodges shared that Black History Month “means everything to me, it’s a part of my culture and who I am.”

The BHM Karaoke night started at 4:05m pm and was held at LBCC in room B206.
Student Priince Bass said the night felt like a space to share, have fun, and gave a real sense of home at the event.
The karaoke night stood as a powerful reminder that celebrating Black history is not only about honoring the past, but also about uplifting community and joy.
Despite the downpour of rain, students and local patrons at the Long Beach City College TTC campus reviewed the Forgotten Images: Story of Slavery & Black America exhibit held in the campus’ student union area on Feb. 19.
The exhibit featured antique items that were commonly used during the era of slavery, as well as in the Civil Rights era.
With a collection of roughly 20,000 artifacts in total, the owner of the exhibit, David McLucas, believes the event was held in observance of Black History Month and has been featured on campus and other Long Beach public schools for the last 12 years.
“It started from attending a local flea market in Long Beach. There was a man selling objects, cast-iron banks that were animated figures of black people. It was when I turned the bank around that I saw it reveal some explicit language towards our people,” said McLucas.
Some of the artifacts featured in the exhibit were iron collars that were placed on slaves while being transported to their next destination, a civil rights era portion that includes exhibits of civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and a KKK suit.

“The purpose of this exhibit is to allow people of all walks of life to be aware of Black history, and not take for granted what was sacrificed for our own lives today,” McLucas said.
One exhibit featured in the Forgotten Images: Story of Slavery & Black America exhibit was of the segregated water fountains that were found in the southern United States during the Jim Crow era. It was against the law for Black people to drink from the same water fountain as a white person. (Keith Lewis)
Another segment features water fountains that were used during segregation which only allowed white students to drink from and a replica of a slave plantation bell. In the past, these particular bells were a sound that would echo throughout the day on the plantations as a form of communication.
Lynette Johnson, who works with the exhibit said, “This bell rang when slaves got up, went to eat and went to work on the plantation field, pretty much anytime the owners needed to communicate with slaves.”

While in the past, the bell was a control mechanism that plantation owners used to manipulate slaves, McLucas shared, “Today, when we ring the bell, we like to think of it more of a time of remembrance.”
Rather than think about how it was specifically used for, “it’s turned into a way to honor our loved ones before us,” said McLucas.
Forgotten Images provides those in attendance the opportunity to get a rare glimpse at a part of history that our country is trying to hide and reframe.
On Mar. 27, 2025, the White House passed the executive order to change many museums’ content from the claims that “under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”
This executive order aims to “remove improper ideology from such properties, and (the U.S. vice-president) shall recommend to the President any additional actions necessary to fully effectuate such policies.”
This exhibit is one of many that aim to depict unfiltered artifacts and history.

A former LBCC student at the art exhibit expressed what it was like to experience the history presented with not much prior knowledge.
“I have mixed feelings about how far we have come and a feeling of distance but at the same time closer to history than before,” said Kacey Chea.
Chea continued, “I still can’t grasp all of it because I am not educated enough, but it’s eye-catching, and I felt a sense of self-reflection.”
Forgotten Images will visit LBCC’s LAC campus on Mar. 10.
Long Beach City College’s new G building at LAC opened its doors for a limited number of classes in the performing arts and broadcasting media department on Feb. 9, the first day of LBCC’s spring semester.
The new two-story building replaces the H building bungalows, which were demolished over the winter semester, and classes in the J building. As well as the former G building, which used to contain the TV/radio broadcasting facilities before their temporary relocation to the TTC campus because of the demolition.
Performing arts students are able to enjoy a variety of new facilities for performances, including the G building courtyard.
Benches face a raised platform that can serve as a stage for outdoor performances, something entirely new to the campus, and it is immediately present upon walking to the building.

“There’s some seating and landscaping for a stage with speakers and a sound setup, like an amphitheater, that can accommodate large groups. We tested it out on College Day with some live music,” said associate vice-president of facilities Jeff Connell, who oversees the construction projects on campus.
The building also features three new indoor venues for performing arts students, all on the first floor.
One of the G building’s new facilities is a small theater which hosts a maximum of 236 people. (Dom Maddan)
A small 236-seat auditorium and a black-box theater with no fixed seating for more open performances, are two new additions that will be used for one-act play performances later in the semester, and are planned to be used for the department’s annual Shakespeare plays during the summer sessions.

“I’m expecting a smaller scale but a similar kind of value with a much more intimate setting. I’m excited for what’s coming,” said Alex Cardenas, a theater major student.
A “theater-in-the-round” with seating around a circular central stage, was also built and is planned to be used for an improvisational comedy performance in June that will be put on by TART-6, a theater improvisation class. The space will also be used for general practice.
“Having the intimate space will really allow us to have audience participation. We’ll probably have an audience member jump up on stage with us very easily; they’re right there. It’s more fun to see people be goofy 20 feet away,” TART-6 professor Eric Lauritzen said.
The first floor also features two large podcast studios with soundproof walls alongside a radio broadcast studio, for broadcasting students to use.

For music students there are new permanent practice rooms which are equipped with instruments and soundproof walls for singing and playing. These rooms replaced the temporary ones that were in the now demolished bungalows considered the H building.
The G building contains some areas that are still under construction, specifically the first floor’s theater classrooms and dance studios, which are set to be completed on March 26 when the building officially opens.
“I’m looking forward to it being fully opened up, there are some unfinished classrooms, and it feels a bit underwhelming at times. I’m really looking forward to not all my classes being in the same classroom,” said Quinn Hicks, a theater major student.
The G building is one of two new buildings open during the spring semester alongside TTC’s new multidisciplinary MM building, which will have facilities for many of LBCC’s programs, such as horticulture, carpentry, architecture and anthropology, among others.
Aside from the two new buildings, LBCC will see a new E building replace the original after its destruction during the fall 2025 semester, and new student housing.
Student housing is currently in its preconstruction stage, as the design for the new building is in the works and a contractor to build it has been identified.
“By the middle of March, those plans for the student housing will be done and sent off to the state for review. We are on track to have new student housing open starting in the fall semester of 2028,” said Connell.
On March 26, there will be a ribbon-cutting and renaming ceremony for the G building, marking it’s full opening, and its renaming after banda singer Jenni Rivera.
