Dear Prairie View,

Thank you for the stories.
And thank you for the storytellers. 💜💛

Three poets. Three alumni. Three voices returning to tell the story of a place that helped shape them.

This one: Se7en the Poet.

Each brings their own voice, their own memories, and their own Prairie View story to the stage.

Because Dear Prairie View isn’t just about telling the history of Prairie View.

It’s about letting Panthers tell it.

Eight men.
One school.
No names recorded.
All lives remembered.

They walked onto the grounds of what would become Prairie View A&M University as its first students.

150 years later, we remember the beginning, that paved the way for them.

The Unknown 8. 💜💛

Their story comes to the stage in Dear Prairie View.

Dear Prairie View,

To the movement students who chose education during the Civil Rights era—your voices, your fight, your courage we honor.

What an honor to be in the studio creating Dear Prairie View.

Every rehearsal is an opportunity to remember the ancestors who worked this land, the visionaries who founded this institution, and the generations whose courage continues to carry us forward.

The soil remembers.

And so do we. 💜💛

Some stories deserve a grand stage.
Prairie View deserves the spotlight.
HBCUs deserve this moment.

For 150 years, Prairie View A&M University has shaped leaders, sparked movements, created legends, and transformed generations. Now, that legacy comes to life in a breathtaking world premiere of music, dance, spoken word, and storytelling.

It’s a celebration.
It’s a homecoming.
It’s a love letter.

It’s history taking center stage.
Join us as we honor one of America’s great HBCUs the way it deserves to be honored.
